Predictive Thinking: How Your Brain Predicts the Future, Recording from 22 October 2024, 18:30, Hörsaal 1, University of Vienna.
According to the brain, it is the most fascinating organ in the universe. Despite all we have learned, we’re still far from fully understanding how it works, how it shapes our reality, and fuels both joy and sorrow. Yet, a groundbreaking new theory is capturing the attention of researchers worldwide. In this talk, I will gently introduce you to the Predictive Processing theory and Karl Friston’s Free Energy Principle – concepts that could transform the way we understand the brain and our everyday experiences. It turns out, thinking might not be what you think.
