David O. Richter, Cem Uran, Martin A. Vinck, Floris P. de Lange · 2025
Despite numerous studies reporting sensory prediction errors - a key component of predictiveprocessing theories - the nature of the surprise represented in these errors remains largelyunknown. Recent studies provide evidence that prediction errors, even in early sensory areas,may reflect high-level surprise, offering new insights into the role of predictive processing in thebrain beyond classical accounts of redundancy reduction
