#predictiveProcessing is a such a satisfying #neurological theory for how our brains works and my latest obsession.

Basically, our brain model lives in the future and sends predictions to our sensory organs and receive corrections instead of raw sensory data.

This explains why surprises are so satisfying (model gets to train itself) and exhausting (it takes energy to train).
Also maybe we can steer our model conciously to have a healthier #spiritual lives.
#optimism suddenly makes more sense.

Hey #PredictiveProcessing people, do you have any tips on who is currently studying how and when the precision of the prediction error is calculated? My focus is perception and learning but I'm happy to hear about papers from other related fields.

Thanks so much for any pointers!!

I was exposed to the importance of interaction between top-down and bottom-up neural/cognitive processes early on (I did my PhD in the department Steve Grossberg started), so I am slightly amused and baffled by the hype surrounding #PredictiveProcessing and/or #ActiveInference.

It suggests that David Hume's idea that all knowledge comes from the outside world has had way too long a half-life in biology.
