Precision modulation in predictive coding hierarchies : theoretical, behavioural and neuroimaging investigations

Estimation of uncertainty is an important aspect of perception and a prerequisite for effective action. This thesis explores the implementation of uncertainty estimation as precision modulation within a predictive coding hierarchy, optimised within a neurbiologically-plausible message-passing scheme...
