In this talk, Karl Friston, the world’s most frequently cited neuroscientist (according to the Paul Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence) talks about how the brain truly works and shares his novel theory that can radically change how we treat mental illness and revolutionise artificial intelligence. “There is common ground when treating our brains as statistical organs – making sense of the world by testing hypotheses (about states of affairs beyond our skulls) against sensory evidence. By drilling down into the ways in which this sense-making can go wrong, we identify some key aspects of neuronal message passing that underwrite our ability to attend and ignore various sources of evidence – aspects that can, in principle, be measured non-invasively.“ ABOUT WIRED WIRED brings you the future as it happens - the people, the trends, the big ideas that will change our lives.
