Predicting Our World

The video explains that the brain is not simply reactive but predictive, using prior experiences organized as concepts to anticipate sensory information. This predictive nature shapes perceptions, including emotions and experiences. Without relevant concepts, individuals may be blind to certain sensory inputs. Visual illusions demonstrate this, as once a person understands the context of an image, they can no longer unsee it. This concept is likened to how artists deconstruct objects into light pieces to paint them, highlighting the brain's reliance on experience and prediction.
