For as long as we've studied the mind, we've believed that our senses determine what our mind perceives. But as our understanding of neuroscience and psychology has advanced, a new view has emerged - that the mind is an active predictor. At the core of this research is the radical reimagination of the way our brains process sensory information - arguing that we anticipate what we will see before we process the experience. Only then does our brain compare its prediction to the sensory information. This is the extraordinary explanatory power of the predictive brain for our lives, health, world, and society.
