summaryAudition offers a rich model system for understanding inference and behaviour under conditions of perpetual uncertainty, where external noise in the signal interacts with internal noise within the listener. In this talk, Jonas will present recent brain-imaging, pharmacological, and psychophysical research exploring how perceptual priors help buffer against external noise, as well as how sensory processing, decision-making, and metacognition are shaped by both external and internal factors. The work also highlights individual differences between listeners, with implications for healthy ageing, hearing loss, and hallucination-proneness.
