Lars Muckli is a top rated Reader in the UK and Professor at the Center for Cognitive Neuroimaging of the University of Glasgow. He is working on nothing less but our possibility to predict the future: The predictive coding framework represents a paradigm shift in neuroscience and impacts on concepts of mind and experience. Brain processes are traditionally studied as a function of sensory stimulation. In contrast, predictive coding states that the brain continually generates models of the world based on context and information from memory in order to predict sensory input. He is now investigating predictive field parameters like spatial tuning for the cortical feedback.
