A sensory-motor theory of the neocortex
Author: Rajesh P.N. Rao Publication: Nature Neuroscience Date: June 27, 2024 Abstract Recent neurophysiological and neuroanatomical studies suggest a close interaction between sensory and motor processes across the neocortex. Here, I propose that the neocortex implements active predictive coding (APC): each cortical area estimates both latent sensory states and actions (including potentially abstract actions internal…
