Summary Attention is the optimisation of estimates of precision during hierarchical inference of the causes of sensory data (Mathematical) precision is (neurobiological) superficial pyramidal cell gain SPC gain can be altered through long-range neurotransmitters or gamma- synchrony Second-order predictions from higher hierarchical levels transmit top-down attentional effects
