The Predictive Brain: Rethinking Perception, Emotion, and Dreams with Anil Seth

That last point about dreams fits so well. It's really interesting how we can give interpretations of a process at different levels of abstraction and they can all make sense without sharing any obvious common ground or mapping to each other.

Dr Seth is just easy to listen to...

awesome!

This channel is already so good. Thank you for the epic content

I’ve got a lot of comments because I’ve come to understand a lot on what you’re speaking of. Self reflection with humility and honesty reveals what’s behind the outlines. Like our senses outline but people started believing in that stuff like good and evil and a single entity of god when in reality, the pressures share to reveal so all things are but time is the difference. When we expand we align with our current, think habitat to survive and eat and live. Then we expand into more dimensions and cross them using math and science to reveal technology which is just a farther relative of reality we had to find. Like deeper within the dimensions. Like Rubik’s cubes expanding and revealing things between. That’s why we can expand faster and faster with the more we understand and entangle with/share dimensions. People don’t reflect honestly so our third eye is closed. Nobody can even be honest with themselves because the self isn’t ours alone, it was shared by the differences.

The body meets everything or a portion of it and the dimensions share the understanding of what it takes to be and it’s more than the outlines. That’s why we don’t judge a book by the cover or believe in only the outlines. People aren’t just one thing, we travel through and as things sharing. The body meets the universe and the differences share to reveal between or expand it too and that’s why nothingness shares everything, only nothing could be everything. Math is a reflection of this because 0 is the infinite and absence. 0x anything doesn’t take away and make 0, what is something when multiplied by everything? It’s not something but it is everything. That’s why 1 reflects as a beginning, no insides but the blank like a baby but when it starts expanding then differences reveal. The insides of 1 or what make it are also the outsides just shaped a little different. Like perspective in a non Euclidean dimension. The distance from the beginning to the end is no distance but through difference we see distance.

Great videos, with a better thumbnail and title im positive they would reach more people and you deserve to grow with how good these videos are!

As an autistic, I'm enthralled by the predictive brain model, bc as anyone with autism can tell you, SURPRISED is an understatement when interacting with NTs.😂

Eta I LOVE ANIL SETH, him VS Ramachandra, and Robert Sapolsky are my superhero's.

Side note I'm becoming increasingly intrigued by Michael Levin's research at Tufts.

not that i am encouraging unethical studies, but ethics is one of the main reasons we don't understand human behavior and cognition to the same degree that we understand many other things

How do I start to understand what prediction error means? Looking online and still stumped.

Social psychology mentioned 😋

Love him thanks for video

Just a question, I didn't quite get how using dreams is preventing overfitting? If we stick to the machine learning analogy, would this be analogous to training on your predictions instead of repeating another epoch over your training data? If so, wouldn't you in fact just overfit on your training data harder? Or maybe since you're in this state of being less awake / aware you actually train on not your most confident prediction, but maybe the second or the third? I can see how that bit might have an effect at preventing overfitting. Also, great channel! I'm absolutely hooked.
