In the previous episode, Paul Middlebrooks and Rajesh Rao discussed the past and present of predictive coding theories of the brain. In this episode, Eli Sennesh, a postdoctoral researcher in the Bastos Lab at Vanderbilt University, shares his “divide-and-conquer” predictive coding model to explain how populations of neurons test their hypotheses about the world. Sennesh also shares his insights about moving from computational to experimental neuroscience.
