The study links decision-making activity to early sensory regions rather than only higher-order brain areas, identifying bidirectional feedback loops as a central mechanism.
The finding suggests perception and decision processes interact earlier and more tightly than previously understood in natural intelligence.
Researchers said the result could reshape computational neuroscience models and support biologically inspired AI systems built around feedback-driven processing.
If human intelligence relies on feedback loops, is our current 'feed-forward' AI fundamentally flawed?
As brain-computer interfaces become bidirectional, are we nearing the day when paralysis can be permanently reversed?
If AI chatbots can trap users in cognitive feedback loops, what new rules are needed to protect our minds?
