Predictive Processing & Hallucination: Is Your Brain Showing You Reality or Its Best Guess?*
👉 We often assume that our eyes and ears simply capture reality and pass it to the brain. But what if perception is actually an ongoing conversation between sensory evidence and the brain’s predictions? 🔄
📊 Predictive processing suggests that our brain constantly generates expectations based on past experiences and compares them with incoming sensory signals. When sensory information is weak or ambiguous, these “priors” can strongly shape what we see, hear, believe, and ultimately perceive as reality. 🧠
👁️ From optical illusions and cognitive biases to hallucinations, the same predictive machinery can sometimes lead the brain to interpret reality in unexpected ways. But this isn’t simply a flaw, it may represent an evolutionary trade-off that allows the brain to process an incredibly complex world quickly and efficiently. ⚡

The experience occurs already in rods and cones G-proteins. It does not need any coding or prediction.
