How does the brain make the perceptual decisions that lead to object recognition? Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, Summerfield et al. (p. 1311) observed predictive neural signals in the frontal cortex, which suggests that predictive coding accounts for perceptual inference. Moreover, direction-specific functional connectivity between the frontal and visual cortices was observed during perceptual decision-making.
