Predictive coding

Uncommon card · No. 192891

In neuroscience, psychology and cognitive science, predictive coding (also known as predictive processing) is a theory of brain function which postulates that the brain is constantly generating and updating a "mental model" of the environment. According to the theory, such a mental model is used to predict input signals from the senses that are then compared with the actual input signals from those senses. Predictive coding is one member of a wider set of theories that follow the Bayesian brain hypothesis.
