The article discusses how perception, often thought of as passive, is actually an active process involving the brain's predictive capabilities. Our sensory experiences rely not only on incoming data but also on past experiences and expectations. This concept, likened to a "controlled hallucination," is rooted in the predictive processing hypothesis, emphasizing the brain’s role in forming hypotheses and interpreting sensory information. Daniel Yon's work brings clarity to these sophisticated ideas, suggesting the need for wider recognition of groundbreaking research in this area.
The brain is a prediction machine and our perceptual experiences consist of our prior experiences as well as new data.
Perception is a controlled hallucination, where our minds supplement incoming sensory information with existing knowledge.
