But as our understanding of neuroscience and psychology has advanced in the last few decades, a new view has emerged that has proven to be both provocative and hugely powerful-that the mind is not a passive observer, but an active predictor. At the core of this research is the radical reimagination of the way our brains process sensory information. Now this new school of "predictive processing" is arguing that we anticipate what we will see before we process the experience. Only then does our brain compare its prediction to the sensory information. At the forefront of this research is widely acclaimed philosopher Andy Clark, who has synthesized his revolutionary work on the predictive brain to explore its fascinating mechanics and implications. The most stunning of these is the realization that experience itself, because it is guided by prior expectation, is a kind of controlled hallucination. From the most mundane experiences to the most sublime, it is the mind that shapes most of our reality. Encountering errors in prediction helps us learn and makes us confident experts, but predictive feedback loops can also lock in conditions like chronic pain, addiction, and anxiety. A landmark study of cognitive science, The Experience Machine is a grand vision that sketches the extraordinary explanatory power of the predictive brain for our lives, health, world, and society"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 153 Cl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 153 Clark Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 153 Cl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 153 Cl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 153 Cl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Naalehu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 153 Cl Checked In Add Copy to MyList
