Technological change in the wine market? The role of QR codes and wine apps in consumer wine purchases by Lindsey M. Higgins, Marianne McGarry Wolf, Mitchell J. Wolf

“…Using a sample of 631 US wine consumers, this research aims to identify the role of mobile applications and QR codes in the wine purchase decision. Results suggest that wine consumers that consider themselves wine connoisseurs or experts, enjoy talking about wine, and are interested in wine that is produced locally, organically, or sustainably are more likely to employ technology in their wine purchase decision. …”

Energy optimization induces predictive-coding properties in a multi-compartment spiking neural network model. by Mingfang Zhang, Raluca Chitic, Sander M Bohté

“…Additionally, neurons in the energy-optimised model show differential responses to expected versus unexpected stimuli, qualitatively similar to experimental evidence for predictive coding. These findings indicate that predictive-coding-like behaviour might be an emergent property of energy optimisation, providing a new perspective on how predictive coding could be achieved in the cortex.…”
