A new theory is taking hold in neuroscience. It is an attractive theory because powerful theoretical arguments support it, and yet it is at heart stunningly simple. It is the theory that the brain is essentially a hypothesis-testing mechanism, one that attempts to minimise the error of its predictions about the sensory input it receives from the world.
The key argument throughout The Predictive Mind is that the mechanism explains the rich, deep, and multifaceted character of our conscious perception. Jakob Hohwy explains and explores this theory from the perspective of cognitive science and philosophy. It also gives a unified account of how perception is sculpted by attention, and how it depends on action.
The mind is revealed as having a fragile and indirect relation to the world. Though we are deeply in tune with the world we are also strangely distanced from it.The
