The paper identifies a sparse set of neurons in the mouse visual cortex that mediate illusory contour inference through recurrent pattern completion.

This study challenges hierarchical predictive coding models by showing that prediction error responses in visual cortex do not involve feedforward processing and that predictive suppression is not mediated by inhibitory interneurons.

SHIELD enables large-scale electrophysiological recordings in mice by providing a skull-shaped implant for repeated multi-probe insertions across brain regions.
