Advances in cognitive neuroscience offer us new ways to understand the symptoms of mental illness by uniting basic neurochemical and neurophysiological observations with the conscious experiences that characterize these symptoms. Cognitive theories about the positive symptoms of schizophrenia — hallucinations and delusions — have tended to treat perception and belief formation as distinct processes. However, recent advances in computational neuroscience have led us to consider the unusual…

The Computational Anatomy of Psychosis
TLDR
It is suggested that both pervasive trait abnormalities and florid failures of inference in the psychotic state can be linked to factors controlling post-synaptic gain – such as NMDA receptor function and (dopaminergic) neuromodulation.
Bayesian inference, predictive coding and delusions
This paper considers psychotic symptoms in terms of false inferences or beliefs. It is based on the notion that the brain is an organ of inference that actively constructs hypotheses to explain or…
Explaining Delusions: Reducing Uncertainty Through Basic and Computational Neuroscience
TLDR
It is argued that organisms strive to minimize uncertainty about their future states by forming and maintaining a set of beliefs that are robust, but flexible, and if uncertainty is generated endogenously, beliefs begin to depart from consensual reality and can manifest into delusions.
The Bayesian Brain and Psychoanalytic Dimensions of Hyper-salience in Psychosis
TLDR
Personal meaning embedded in a delusion expressive of an individual’s life history may help explain the persistence of the ideational content of a delusion despite appropriate pharmacological treatment.
Thinking, believing, and hallucinating self in schizophrenia.

Delusions and theories of belief
Can circular inference relate the neuropathological and behavioral aspects of schizophrenia?

Psychotic Experiences in Schizophrenia and Sensitivity to Sensory Evidence.
TLDR
A novel experimental paradigm which gradually manipulates perceptually ambiguous visual stimuli by disambiguating stimulus information indicates that perceptual anomalies and hallucinations are associated with a shift of perceptual inference toward sensory evidence and away from prior beliefs.

Information Processing and Schizophrenia
TLDR
It is argued that schizophrenic breakdown/relapse may be understood in terms of the interaction of the cognitively impaired individual with his or her environment, and it is necessary to speculate on the characteristics of environments which may lead to the exacerbation of schizophrenic symptoms.
Reasoning in Deluded Schizophrenic and Paranoid Patients: Biases in Performance on a Probabilistic Inference Task
An experiment is described in which deluded subjects with a diagnosis of schizophrenia or of delusional disorder (paranoia) were compared with a nondeluded psychiatric control group and a normal…
The Formation of Maintenance of Delusions: a Bayesian Analysis
TLDR
This paper argues that recent research on normal-belief formation is relevant to the understanding of the establishment and maintenance of delusions and the extent to which the distortions of cognitive processes associated with delusions are content-specific or mood-specific.
From prediction error to psychosis: ketamine as a pharmacological model of delusions
TLDR
It is suggested that ketamine may provide an appropriate model to investigate the formative stages of symptom evolution in schizophrenia, and thereby provide a window into the earliest and otherwise inaccessible aspects of the disease process.

Disrupted prediction-error signal in psychosis: evidence for an associative account of delusions.
TLDR
The results support a neurobiological theory of delusion formation that implicates aberrant prediction-error signalling, disrupted attentional allocation and associative learning in the formation of delusional beliefs.
Can neuroscience explain consciousness
Cognitive neuroscience aspires to explain how the brain produces conscious states. Many people think this aspiration is threatened by the subjective nature of introspective reports, as well as by…
