Topic: neural shifts

How our conscious experience materialize from our predictions is an open question in neuroscience and philosophy. Here we test the hypothesis that top-down predictions arise from a trio of domain-specific generative models (Fig 1a) within prefrontal (PFC) nodes of the Default-Mode Network (DMN), and integrate within its parietal nodes, forming the basis for our dynamic consciousness.Smoothed binary ratings of prediction updates for State changes, Agent beliefs, and Action sequences from an online sample were used as parametric regressors for the GLMs. These ratings indicating experience shifts
