Disentangling predictive processing in the brain: a meta-analytic study in favour of a predictive network

Abstract According to the predictive coding (PC) theory, the brain is constantly engaged in predicting its upcoming states and refining these predictions through error signals. Despite extensive research investigating the neural bases of this theory, to date no previous study has systematically atte...
