Previous abstract: Predictive coding models suggest that the brain is constantly generating and updating hypotheses that predict sensory input at varying levels of abstraction. This framework is in contrast to the view that the brain integrates exteroceptive information through a predominantly feedforward process, with feedback connections playing a more minor role in cortical processing.

Second bold item in lead

It is difficult to construe the second bold item in lead as a second definitional topic, as the phrase is simply too generic.

In each region, the model being propagated is compared to the sensory input and if they do not match, a Prediction Error is sent back up the network and the model is revised.

The emphasis is perhaps useful in conveying how central prediction error is within this theory, but the clash with Wikipedia convention seems too large to justify for a relatively small fish. — MaxEnt 16:43, 8 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
