Predictive Technologies: Can Smart Tools Augment the Brain's Predictive Abilities?
The ability of "looking into the future"-namely, the capacity of anticipating future states of the environment or of the body-represents a fundamental function of human (and animal) brains. A goalkeeper who tries to guess the ball's direction; a chess player who attempts to anticipate the opponent's next move; or a man-in-love who tries to calculate what are the chances of her saying yes-in all...
متن کاملWhen Can Predictive Brains be Truly Bayesian?
tive coding framework does not yet make stringent commitments as to the nature of the causal models that the brain can represent. Hence, contrary to suggestions by Clark (in press), the framework does not yet have the virtue that it effectively implements tractable Bayesian inference. At this point in time three mutually exclusive options remain open: either predictive coding does not implement...
متن کاملEvolution of Social Predictive Brains?
discrimination and detection of biological motion (Neri et al., 2006; Manera et al., 2011). This “inverse relationship” between bottom-up perceptual input and top-down social information implies the presence of “social” forward (internally generated) models acting as top-down priors, which may be competing with other internal models for overall control, comparable to forward models of action (W...
متن کاملPredictive brains: forethought and the levels of explanation
Is any unified theory of brain function possible? Following a line of thought dating back to the early cybernetics (see, e.g., Cordeschi, 2002), Clark (in press) has proposed the action-oriented Hierarchical Predictive Coding (HPC) as the account to be pursued in the effort of gaining the “Grand Unified Theory of the Mind”—or “painting the big picture,” as Edelman (2012) put it. Such line of th...
متن کاملWhatever Next ? Predictive Brains , Situated Agents , and the Future of
Brains, according to an increasingly influential cluster of research programs in cognitive computational neuroscience, are essentially prediction machines. They are bundles of cells whose evolved role is to enable the right action to occur at the right time, and one key way this is achieved by using multi-layer generative models to minimize prediction errors within a hierarchy of cortical proce...
