This paper examines the applicability of predictive coding as an explanatory model for perception. This is carried out from two perspectives. First, the central assumptions of the model are re-examined in light of the neuroscientific evidence for the structure and functioning of key brain areas involved in perception. The inferential processes involved in predictive coding are then investigated in the context of ambiguous stimuli. This showed that while predictive coding may provide an accurate explanation for our perceptual experiences in some cases, there are also several instances where the picture is not as clear cut. Following on from this, particular emphasis is placed on ambiguous art in order to examine the psychological and cognitive implications of predictive coding in affective states. This not only sheds light on the impact of predictive coding for cognition and emotion, but also helps clarify the nature of ambiguous art.
本文从两个角度探讨了预测编码作为一种解释感知的模型的适用性。首先，根据涉及感知的关键大脑区域的结构和功能的神经科学证据，重新审视了该模型的核心假设。然后，在模棱两可的刺激背景下研究了预测编码所涉及的推理过程。这表明，虽然在某些情况下预测编码可以为我们的感知体验提供准确的解释，但在其他情况下情况并非如此清晰。在此基础上，特别强调了模棱两可的艺术，以研究预测编码在情感状态下对心理和认知的影响。这不仅揭示了预测编码对认知和情感的影响，还有助于澄清模棱两可艺术的本质。
