Predicting and Filtering Sensory Information
This chapter discusses how our brain predicts and filters sensory information based on expectations, focusing on unexpected stimuli and building an internal model of the world. It explores the role of attention in updating the internal model and the phenomenon of blocking. The chapter also explains how an internal model is applicable to machines and discusses the connection between brain adaptation to drugs and withdrawal symptoms.
