First paper is now out in Cortex! We find behavioral and neural evidence for non-conscious speech processing, using a new dual-task paradigm that creates repetitive occurrences of in attentional deafness without masking or degrading stimuli. @deouell.bsky.social

1/3) This may be a very important paper, it suggests that there are no prediction error encoding neurons in sensory areas of cortex:

I personally am a big fan of the idea that cortical regions (allo and neo) are doing sequence prediction.

Sensory responses of visual cortical neurons are not prediction errors
Predictive coding is theorized to be a ubiquitous cortical process to explain sensory responses. It asserts that the brain continuously predicts sensory information and imposes those predictions on lo...

When we listen to speech, we do it while constantly predicting upcoming contents. Is this prediction associated with the subjective experience of engaged, conscious listening? What happens when we fail to listen? Come take a look at my poster (P116) tomorrow at @assc28.bsky.social 16:30
