Visual processing in the cerebral cortex is strongly modulated by context. For example, neural activity as early as primary visual cortex (V1) is increased to stimuli that deviate from contextual patterns, a phenomenon termed “deviance detection.” Critically, visual deviance detection, and its EEG biomarker mismatch negativity, is diminished in people with schizophrenia, suggesting altered predictive processing in cortical systems which could underlie core perceptual and cognitive features of the disease.
