Predictive Processing and Experience
- Experience arises from the meeting point of brain predictions and actual sensory information.
- This interplay is modulated by processes like precision weighting, shaping our perception of reality.
Green Needle Brainstorm Illusion
- The "green needle brainstorm" audio illusion demonstrates how predictions influence perception.
- The same audio can be heard differently based on visual cues, highlighting prediction's role.
Action and Prediction Error Minimization
- Predictive processing provides a unified framework for understanding both perception and action.
- Action involves making the world conform to our predictions, minimizing prediction errors through movement.
