    Abstract Hierarchical predictive coding networks are a general model of sensory processing in the brain. Under neural delays, these networks have been suggested to naturally generate oscillatory activity in approximately the α frequency range (∼8-12 Hz). This suggests that α oscillations, a prominent feature of EEG recordings, may be a spectral "fingerprint" of predictive sensory processing. Here, we probed this possibility by investigating whether oscillations over the visual cortex predictively encode visual information. Specifically, we examined whether their power carries information about the position of a moving stimulus, in a temporally predictive fashion. In two experiments (

    Abstract Because neural processing takes time, the brain only has delayed access to sensory information. When localising moving objects this is problematic, as an object will have moved on by the time its position has been determined. Here, we consider predictive motion extrapolation as a fundamental delay-compensation strategy. From a population-coding perspective, we outline how extrapolation can be achieved by a forwards shift in the population-level activity distribution. We identify general mechanisms underlying such shifts, involving various asymmetries which facilitate the targeted 'enhancement' and/or 'dampening' of population-level activity. We classify these on the basis of their potential implementation (intra- vs inter-regional processes) and consider specific examples in different visual regions. We consider how motion extrapolation can be achieved during inter-regional signaling, and how asymmetric connectivity patterns which support extrapolation can emerge spontaneously from local synaptic learning rules. Finally, we consider how more abstract 'model-based' predictive strategies might be implemented. Overall, we present an integrative framework for understanding how the brain determines the real-time position of moving objects, despite neural delays.

    Abstract A simple—yet powerful—indicator used to monitor weather-related food insecurity is the Water Requirement Satisfaction Index (WRSI). This water-balance model uses precipitation (PPT) and potential evapotranspiration (PET) data to estimate the water supply and demand a crop experiences over the course of a growing season. If the season is still in progress, climatological forecast data can be adjoined with to-date conditions to provide insight into potential end-of-season crop performance. However, if used incorrectly, these same indicators can become a detriment to early warning, resulting in a lack of, or misallocation of, precious humanitarian aid. While several prominent agencies and data centers use arithmetic average climatological data as proxies for “average conditions,” little published research has evaluated the effectiveness of this forecast method when used in crop-water balance models (i.e., WRSI). We use WRSI hindcasts of three African regions’ primary growing seasons from 1981-2019 to assess the adequacy of the arithmetic mean climatological forecast. We find that this method of forecasting end-of-season (EOS) WRSI results in crop-water condition predictions that are positively biased, i.e., they overestimate WRSI. This bias ranges from 2-23% positive bias throughout portions of east, west, and southern Africa. The proposed alternative is a scenario-based approach, which adjoins the to-date conditions with data from previous seasons to produce a series of historically realistic conclusions to the current season (one potential scenario generated from each year in the data record; 1981-2019). The mean of these scenarios is then used as the projected end-of-season WRSI, hereby referred to as the WRSI Outlook. We find this approach has a near-zero bias score, and correspondingly, it has an improved (lower) Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) in comparison to the traditional arithmetic average climatological method. While an increase in accuracy is a welcome by-product, the slight decrease (or increase, as seen during wet years) in RMSE has less to do with forecast skill, and more related to the reduction of bias provided by the mean-scenario method. In total, the findings from this paper highlight the inadequacies of the existing arithmetic mean climatological forecast method when used to project EOS WRSI, and present a less-biased, and more accurate, mean scenario-based approach.
