Learning Perceptual Inference by Contrasting
[article]
2019
arXiv
pre-print
Combining all the elements, we propose the Contrastive Perceptual Inference network (CoPINet) and empirically demonstrate that CoPINet sets the new state-of-the-art for permutation-invariant models on ...
Inspired by cognitive studies, we equip our model with a simple inference module that is jointly trained with the perception backbone. ...

The role of abstraction in non-native speech perception
2014
Journal of Phonetics
We argue that these results support a view of perceptual reorganization as the consequence of learners' hierarchical inductive inferences about the structure of the language's sound system: infants not ...
Specifically, we show that the knowledge of a language with short and long vowel categories leads to enhanced discrimination of non-native consonant length contrasts. ...

Perceptual learning as improved probabilistic inference in early sensory areas
2011
Nature Neuroscience
Therefore, the key to the neural basis of perceptual learning may have less to do with how tuning curves change and more to do with how the connectivity is adjusted to improve the inference performed by ...
Here we argue that perceptual learning might be due to improved probabilistic inference induced by changes at the sensory processing stage rather than at the decision stage (at least in the case of orientation ...

Hybrid Predictive Coding: Inferring, Fast and Slow
[article]
2022
arXiv
pre-print
It proposes that perceptual beliefs are furnished by sequentially minimising "prediction errors" - the differences between predicted and observed data. ...
We demonstrate that our hybrid predictive coding model combines the benefits of both amortized and iterative inference -- obtaining rapid and computationally cheap perceptual inference for familiar data ...
In contrast, predictive coding suggests that the brain solves perception by modelling how perceptual representations z generate sensory data x, which is a fundamentally top-down process. ...

Belief states and categorical-choice biases determine reward-based learning under perceptual uncertainty
[article]
2020
biorxiv/medrxiv
pre-print
We found that both factors influenced participants' behavior, which was similarly captured in Bayesian-inference and Q-learning models. ...
In natural settings, learning and decision making often takes place under considerable perceptual uncertainty. ...

Choice variability and suboptimality in uncertain environments
2016
Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences
This variability is usually hypothesized as noise at the periphery of inferential processes, namely sensory noise in perceptual tasks and stochastic exploration in reward-guided learning, or as suboptimal ...
Making decisions under uncertainty, from perceptual judgments to reward-guided choices, requires combining multiple pieces of decision-relevant information -a cognitive process modeled as statistical inference ...
By contrast, the intrinsic stochasticity of inference imprecisions (i.e., the 'variance' term) reflects the effective precision at which inference is performed. ...

The Neural Correlates of Hierarchical Predictions for Perceptual Decisions
2018
Journal of Neuroscience
By inverting a Bayesian model of perceptual inference, we estimated individual hierarchical predictions, which significantly biased perceptual decisions under ambiguity. ...
Our work fundamentally advances the mechanistic understanding of perceptual inference in the human brain. ...
Crucially, here, we were interested in such perceptual expectations or priors that are formed by associative learning; that is, the subjects' continuously updated inference on the probabilistic coupling ...

Electrophysiological indices reflect switches between Bayesian and heuristic strategies in perceptual learning
[article]
2017
bioRxiv
pre-print
These findings suggest that use of Bayesian inference in perceptual learning may depend on motivational state. ...
We recorded electroencephalography from 23 participants performing a perceptual learning task with both monetary and a non-monetary instructive feedback conditions. ...
As a result, learning was necessarily affected by perceptual uncertainty regarding the identity of the chosen contrast. ...

Delusions and the Role of Beliefs in Perceptual Inference
2013
Journal of Neuroscience
Here, we empirically validated a neurocognitive model that explains both the formation and the persistence of delusional beliefs in terms of altered perceptual inference. ...
Delusional ideation was associated with less perceptual stability, but a stronger belief-induced bias on perception, paralleled by enhanced functional connectivity between frontal areas that encoded beliefs ...

Reinforcement of perceptual inference: reward and punishment alter conscious visual perception during binocular rivalry
2014
Frontiers in Psychology
We conclude that perceptual inference is an adaptive process that is shaped by its consequences. ...
In two behavioral experiments, we used binocular rivalry to examine whether perceptual inference can be influenced by the association of perceptual outcomes with reward or punishment, respectively, in ...
According to our hypothesis that perceptual inference is shaped by instrumental learning, we expected that reward should bias inference toward the associated perceptual outcome, leading to increased dominance ...
