Learning to make external sensory stimulus predictions using internal correlations in populations of neurons [Neuroscience]

To compensate for sensory processing delays, the visual system must make predictions to ensure timely and appropriate behaviors. Recent work has found predictive information about the stimulus in neural populations early in vision processing, starting in the retina. However, to utilize this information, cells downstream must be able to read...
