Summary
Precision estimates enable Bayes optimal perception - Hierarchical inference enables different precision effects at different
levels- Precision estimates control the impact of errors in Free Energy
minimisation under the Laplace Assumption
Neuromodulators are anatomically & physiologically equipped to signal precision in this scheme
Neuromodulatory systems could control precision at different hierarchical levels
Cholinergic Neuromodulation controls gain in superficial pyramidal cells in early sensory regions; conforming to Free Energy Predictions of enhanced precision on sensory prediction errors
