Hierarchical Predictive Coding network (Rao & Ballard 1999) trained on
ResNet-50 features, evaluated against 7T fMRI (THINGS-fMRI, N=3 subjects)
via RSA across V1–IT.

Layers: r0 (256-dim, V1-analog) → r1 (512) → r2 (1024) → r3 (2048, IT-analog)

Key result: crossing hierarchy gradient r0↔V1, r3↔IT
(Δr0−Δr3 = +0.266, p=0.007, replicated in all 3 subjects).
PC r0 outperforms ViT-B/16 and CLIP at V1.

Region-layer map: V1→r0, V2/V4→r1, IT→r3
