Megan A. K. Peters, Hojjat Azimi Asrari
Higher-order representations (HORs) are neural or computational states that are "about" first-order representations (FORs), encoding information not about the external world per se…

Characterizing higher-order representations through generative diffusion models explains human decoded neurofeedback performance
Hojjat Azimi Asrari, Megan A. K. Peters
Brains construct not only "first-order" representations of the environment but also "higher-order" representations about those representations -- including higher-order uncertainty…
