Bayesian approaches to brain function

Bayesian approaches to brain function refer to the application of Bayesian statistical principles to understand how the brain processes information, makes decisions, and learns from experience. These approaches posit that the brain operates in a way that is fundamentally probabilistic, where it constantly updates its beliefs about the world based on prior knowledge and new sensory information. ### Key Concepts: 1. **Bayesian Inference**: This is a statistical method that updates the probability for a hypothesis as more evidence or information becomes available.
