Global context rapidly shapes sensory responses in V1

The paper shows that global context rapidly modulates neural responses in V1, with global deviations eliciting enhanced responses and requiring feedback from ACa.

Cortical deviance detection represents a canonical difference signal

The paper shows that neural responses to auditory deviants in primary auditory cortex encode frequency differences and contextual memory, supporting the idea of sensory prediction errors as difference signals.

Do auditory deviants evoke cortical state changes under anaesthesia? A proof of concept study

This study investigates whether auditory deviants evoke cortical state changes under anaesthesia, finding that they trigger an initial prediction error followed by a prolonged cortical Up state.
