Hierarchical minds and the perception/cognition distinction

TLDR
In cognitive and computational neuroscience, this paper portrayed the neocortex as a hierarchically structured prediction machine, and several theorists have drawn on this research to challenge the notion of a hierarchical prediction machine.

The Architecture Of The Mind

Marko Becker
TL;DR: The the architecture of the mind is universally compatible with any devices to read and is available in the book collection an online access to it is set as public so you can download it instantly.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unification by Fiat: Arrested Development of Predictive Processing.

TL;DR: It is argued that the gap between theory and its biological and computational bases contributes to the arrested development of PP as a unificatory theory and is urged to focus on its critical problems instead of offering mere re‐descriptions of known phenomena.

ChatABL: Abductive Learning via Natural Language Interaction with ChatGPT

TL;DR: In this article , a novel method (ChatABL) is presented for integrating large language models into the abductive learning framework, aiming at unifying the three abilities in a more user-friendly and understandable manner.
Journal ArticleDOI

The perception/cognition distinction

TL;DR: The difference between perception and cognition seems introspectively obvious in many cases as discussed by the authors, and perception and thinking have also been assigned quite different roles in epistemology, in theories of r...

Receptive fields of single neurones in the cat's striate cortex

TL;DR: The present investigation, made in acute preparations, includes a study of receptive fields of cells in the cat's striate cortex, which resembled retinal ganglion-cell receptive fields, but the shape and arrangement of excitatory and inhibitory areas differed strikingly from the concentric pattern found in retinalganglion cells.

Predictive coding in the visual cortex: a functional interpretation of some extra-classical receptive-field effects.

TL;DR: Results suggest that rather than being exclusively feedforward phenomena, nonclassical surround effects in the visual cortex may also result from cortico-cortical feedback as a consequence of the visual system using an efficient hierarchical strategy for encoding natural images.

Whatever next? Predictive brains, situated agents, and the future of cognitive science

TL;DR: This target article critically examines this "hierarchical prediction machine" approach, concluding that it offers the best clue yet to the shape of a unified science of mind and action.

A theory of cortical responses

TL;DR: The aims of this article are to encompass many apparently unrelated anatomical, physiological and psychophysical attributes of the brain within a single theoretical perspective and to provide a principled way to understand many aspects of cortical organization and responses.
