Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Current neuroscience literature supports the concept that higher-level cognitive and sensory processing relies on distinct feedforward and feedback neural connections.

The analysis

The retrieved literature supports the premise that predictive processing and neural dynamics involve feedforward and feedback interactions. Papers [0] and [1] both discuss the structural and functional roles of feedforward and feedback pathways in hierarchical or predictive frameworks, aligning with the claim.
