The human olfactory system is unusual. It deviates from the classical structure and function of other sensory cortices, and many of its basic computations remain mysterious. These idiosyncrasies have challenged the development of a clear and comprehensive theoretical framework in olfactory neuroscience. To address this challenge, we develop a theory of olfactory predictive coding that […]

However, the natural environment of human language is face-to-face interaction where we use words and an abundance of visual signals to communicate.
