RE: The Human Prediction Machine

in #science3 years ago

Interesting food for thought.

A similar thing happens with visual art. If I'm working on a piece, sometimes part of it catches in my mind and I have to smooth it out. This can be a color or shape or motif, but whatever it is, I sense that it's out of place. And I try to make it easier to look at.

Do you think this is prediction, intuition, or both?

And I wonder the role of the body is in all of this. We know that the heart sends more information to the brain than the brain sends to the heart. So how might self-regulation and increased heart rhythm coherence impact our ability for our brain to make sense of reality?

Sort:  

I'd call it intuition, which may involve the predictive mechanism.

I feel like the body is a layer of information processing that we're only beginning to make sense of.
