Sensory Prediction Errors Are Less Modulated by Global Context in Autism Spectrum Disorder Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven Ghent University
Background: Recent predictive coding accounts of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) suggest that a key deficit in ASD concerns the inflexibility in modulating local prediction errors as a function of global top-down expectations. As a direct test of this central hypothesis, we used electroencephalography to investigate whether local prediction error processing was less modulated by global context (i.e., global stimulus frequency) in ASD. Methods: ...

Music Evolution in the Laboratory: Cultural Transmission Meets Neurophysiology Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In recent years, there has been renewed interest in the biological and cultural evolution of music, and specifically in the role played by perceptual and cognitive factors in shaping core features of musical systems, such as melody, harmony, and rhythm. One proposal originates in the language sciences. It holds that aspects of musical systems evolve by adapting gradually, in the course of successive generations, to the structural and ...
