46. Anterior Cingulate Cortex’s Role in Uncertainty and Predictive Coding


Listen Later

In today's episode we discuss the many roles that the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) has in cognitive function. The ACC is associated with many higher cognitive functions such as decision-making, value of choice, inference of patterns and incomplete information. The ACC also plays a role in detecting changes in the environment and generating prediction errors between what is expected and what we experience. In this episode, we mainly discuss a recent study that investigated whether a prediction error could be detected based on neural activity in the ACC during behavioural switching between tasks.
