Predictive Processing Alterations in Psychosis Across Illness Stage, Hierarchical Level and Thematic Domain
Predictive processing is a domain-general account of the brain as a hierarchical, dynamically evolving Bayesian predictive model: of a volatile, stochastic world whose nested hidden states interactively and probabilistically generate sensory inputs. The brain infers the hidden causes of ambiguous, …

Investigating the Role of Prior Expectations in the Psychosis Continuum
Predictive processing theory describes how internal (generative) models of the world are used to infer the causes of sensory inputs. In this account, top-down predictions (priors) are weighed against bottom-up sensory information with the aim of prediction error minimisation. Dysfunctional …

Preliminary investigation of the temporal specificity of sequence learning in the primary visual cortex through predictive coding
… driving this phenomenon through the lens of predictive coding will further the understanding of how V1 operates locally to encode time and learns to predict the future based on minimal sensory information. Through in vivo multi-unit recordings from awake mice, this study sought to isolate …

Neural Encoding of Prior Experience in Sensorimotor Behavior
… experience have been described by the theory of predictive processing in terms of efficient coding principles that govern the response properties of neurons. The major contribution of this thesis is to bridge these two levels of description. Using a series of time-intervalreproduction tasks in …

Somatic salience and sensory precision in persistent depression
… targeted psychological interventions. Bayesian predictive processing models of depression propose that negative emotional and physiological outcomes arise in depressive illness as a result of disturbed interoceptive precision estimation in depressed individuals; however, evidence from the …

Where are the cookies? Three-year-olds use number-marked verbs to anticipate upcoming nouns
… comprehension, but also that children use it predictively to anticipate the number features of an upcoming noun. Children were both faster and more likely to switch gaze away from a mismatching distractor picture when they heard an informative agreeing verb (is/are). This is both one of the …

Soteriological Apprehension in Modern Religious Thought: From John Hick to Contemporary Cognitive and Affective Approaches
… thought, David Hume’s account of the self, and predictive processing theories. Finally, it explores the affective foundations of ethical experience, with particular attention to the emergence of guilt and shame and their role in soteriological transformation. The study argues that religious …

Investigating psychosis in Prader-Willi syndrome: developing cognitive, electrophysiological and neuroimaging approaches
… of psychotic symptoms. In line with the predictive processing model of psychosis, the neurotransmitter disruptions proposed would cause a reduction in the use of priors to formulate predictions, detect and generate prediction errors, and update the prediction system. A case-control study …

L1 and L2 Processing of Filler-Gap Dependencies in Mandarin Chinese Speakers: Evidence from Self-Paced Reading Times and Event-Related Potentials
Language processing is a complex task requiring our brain to rapidly integrate various linguistic information from strings of unfolding words and quickly build comprehension. While previous studies have shown that native speakers (L1) employ both incremental and predictive processing in real time …

Predictive Perception in Autism
This thesis investigates how predictive perception, motor coordination, and neurotype differences influences social perception in autism. It explores how these mechanisms contribute to social difficulties faced by autistic people, through the lens of the double empathy problem and second-person …

One step ahead: Investigating the influence of prior knowledge on the perception of others’ actions
… in the context of recent theories of top-down predictive processing during social perception and from the perspective of multisensory integration.
-
Investigating Sensory Prediction in Autism Spectrum Conditions
… using approaches within the nascent field of the predictive processing framework to explore the potential causal role of aberrant prediction for the autistic phenotype. While hypothesised differences in predictive abilities have demonstrated some explanatory power for symptoms of psychotic …

The role of Attentional Binding in Hallucination Proneness
… how hallucination proneness affects early visual processing, attentional binding, and object categorisation as a function of perceptual load, exposure duration, stimulus category (living versus non-living), colour, and occlusion, and whether observed differences reflect impaired perceptual …

Shaping the perceptual representation of observed human action through prediction.
… of social perception explain them within a predictive processing framework. They argue that perception of others’ actions is shaped by prior assumptions about their goals and intentions and the behaviours that these mental states predict. This thesis aimed to resolve whether people make such …

Language Comprehension, Production, and Reasoning in Humans and Neural Language Models
… do neural language models mirror human language processing, and what can this alignment teach us about cognition? This dissertation presents convergent evidence in comprehension, production, and reasoning that neural language models (LMs) can serve as productive instruments for understanding …

The centre cannot hold: a translation of the cognitive nonconscious
… use and finally, ends with an analysis of predictive processing. This thesis argues that nonconscious processes can be represented and exposed through language, and that it is the very act of writing itself that best demonstrates this.

The Nature and Mechanisms of Psychotic Experiences in Borderline Personality Disorder

Dynamic speech networks in the brain: Dual contribution of incrementality and constraints in access to semantics
… networks underpinning contextual semantic processing in speech. Participant listened to two-word spoken phrases where the semantic constraint provided by the modifier was manipulated. To separate out cognitive networks that are modulated by semantic constraint from task positive networks I …

Biomimetic Agent-Based Modeling in Musical Interface Design: Ecological Dynamics, Care, and Constraint in a Physarum-Inspired Musical Instrument
… develops a theoretical framework drawing on predictive processing (Rao and Ballard 1999; Clark 2013), Puig de la Bellacasa's ethics of care (affective, material, and political dimensions), and situated cognition to derive four testable design principles: three-dimensional care, legible …
