The Bayesian-Laplacian Brain

2016-12-15

Abstract excerpt

We outline what we believe could be an improvement in future discussions of the brain acting as a Bayesian-Laplacian system. We do so by distinguishing between two broad classes of priors on which the brain’s inferential systems operate: in one category are biological priors ( β priors ) and in the other artifactual ones ( α priors ). We argue that β priors , of which colour categories and faces are good exampl...
