The Chain of Command (Hierarchical Processing): Think of your brain like a business. The Big Boss (the top layer) tells the Staff (the eyes and ears) what to expect. The Staff only sends a message back up to the Boss if something unexpected happens. If everything is normal, the Staff stays quiet, and […]
Bayesian inference is a statistical framework where the brain combines prior belief which incoming sensory evidence the most probable of sensation.Prior represent expectation based on past experience, while sensory data new evidence.Predictive coding is a neural implementation of Bayesian inference. How do they work: 1.Hierarchical processing: Predictive coding organizes the […]
Bayesian Inference is a way to combine what we already know (prior knowledge) with new information to make prediction and decision. Here is a simple breakdown on how it relates with the brain: 1.Prior knowledge: The brain keep tracks of what it has already learned about the world. For example: […]
INQUIRY QUESTION BREAKDOWN TO WHAT EXTENT DO PREDICTIVE CODING AND BAYESIAN INFERENCE HELP EXPLAIN HOW THE BRAIN FUNCTION? After identifying my topic, I went further and divide my question in three parts so as to advance in my research and for everyone to understand. These subtopics are: 1.How much does […]
As a student researcher, I chose the question “To what extent do predictive coding and Bayesian inference help explain how the brain updates its internal models during learning?” because it sits right at the intersection of curiosity, confusion, and—if I’m honest—a little bit of academic bravery. This topic explores how […]
