Novel psychophysical paradigms for examining predictive coding in vision

人类的视觉是由大脑中的预测信号塑造的。尽管经过了一个世纪的猜测，我们仍然不知道这种相互作用是如何实现的——尤其是在观看自然景观时。该项目将建立和验证新的心理物理协议，以研究人类视觉中的预测编码。实验将涉及自然观察和眼球追踪，因此结果将推广到现实生活中。研究将试图澄清预测是如何形成和发出信号的。这可能会为人工智能的未来发展提供信息，因为我们对人类视觉预测编码的理解将继续为尖端技术提供信息。

Human vision is shaped by predictive signals in the brain. Despite a century of speculation, we do not know how this interplay is implemented - particularly during natural viewing. This project will establish and validate new psychophysical protocols for investigating predictive coding in human vision. Experiments will involve natural viewing and eye tracking, so results will generalize to real-life. Studies will seek to clarify how predictions are formed and signalled. This could inform future developments in artificial intelligence, as that cutting edge technology continues to be informed by our understanding of predictive coding in human vision.
