Abstract

Predictive processing has become an influential framework in cognitive neuroscience. However, it often lacks specificity and direct empirical support. How can we probe the nature and limits of the predictive brain? We highlight the potential of recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) for providing a richer and more computationally explicit test of this theory of cortical function.
