Brain-Based Emotion

The video explains a brain-based approach to understanding perception, emphasizing that the brain predicts sensory information rather than passively receiving it. This predictive mechanism applies to all perceptions, including emotions, and involves comparing predictions with actual sensory input. The brain uses past experiences organized as concepts to make sense of both internal and external environments. This theory is not limited to emotions but extends to all cognitive processes, highlighting the brain's efficiency in processing information.
