Minimal Models of Sensory Perception
Abstract
Although many neuroscientists seem to believe that the brain predicts sensory input, such assertions still lack conclusive evidence and associated understanding of the neural code and neural mechanisms. Using a recent technical advance in the benchmarking of predictive performance, we aim to: test the ability of humans and networks of cultured neurons to predict sensory input; unravel the neural code of prediction in the network of neurons; and explore the effects of synaptic dysfunction on prediction capability of the neurons. The results of this research will rigorously demonstrate when and how humans and neurons are good at predicting input, and may lead to new learning rules for recurrent neural networks trying to predict.
