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。尽管有一个世纪的猜测，但我们不知道这种相互作用是如何实现的--特别是在自然观看期间。该项目将建立和验证新的心理物理学方案，用于研究人类视觉中的预测编码。实验将涉及自然观看和眼球跟踪，因此结果将推广到现实生活中。研究将寻求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，因为尖端技术继续通过我们对人类视觉中预测编码的理解而获得信息。

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.
