How Knowledge Influences Our Perception – Insights from the Neurosciences
Lecture Series »Nature of Deception – Art of Illusion«
A current theory describes the human brain as a »prediction machine«: It posits that our brain is constantly constructing hypotheses of what will happen next. When there is sensory input, it is quickly matched or corrected/updated by comparing it with already existing hypotheses. This process increases the efficiency of our brain – that is, our data processing and reaction abilities.
