Summary:
"A grand new vision of cognitive science that explains
how
our
minds
build the world, learn from it, and sometimes deceive themselves For as long as we've studied the mind, we've believed that
our
senses determine what
our
mind perceives. 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."--From publisher.
