Neuroscience was a very new concept at the time, so it is no surprise that this enlightening paper mentions “processing” and “stimuli” at least 73 times each but never once mentions the brain or neural connections.

You may have a Bayesian brain. So what does all this math have to do with the brain? Hermann von Helmholtz theorized that the brain takes a Bayesian approach to understanding the world, internally interpreting (some would say “ constructing “) a model of the world that is constantly tested and revised based on experience.

When you listen to a story, both sides of the brain are working. The left brain is processing the words while the right brain is actively filling in the gaps. The information in the story is captured as the brain searches for a deeper meaning. The story is then reformulated to have personal relevance.

One key to understanding why magical thinking exists is to understand the brain’s capacity to predict future events based on past experience. The brain does this by paying attention to changes in the environment and linking current and past events together to build a reliable model of the world. The brain is still a gigantic mystery.

Learning, in our brains, is really the strengthening of neural connections. Our thinking is based upon patterns of activation across the myriad of neurons that constitute our brain. When we learn, we’re strengthening the connections within those active patterns (which are frequently two patterns newly put into conjunction).
