Classic predictive coding: V1 predicts low-level features, higher areas high-level. But recent studies + AI models suggest prediction happens at higher levels of abstraction.
Who's right?
In new work w/ @wiegerscheurer.bsky.social we find that both are – distinct regimes across the visual field
New preprint! w/ @mheilbron.bsky.social
We found that, even during simple natural scene viewing, human visual cortex predicts—hierarchically in central vision and at higher levels peripherally—reconciling classical predictive coding with recent evidence from animal models and AI (e.g. JEPA) (1/10)
