First video: How your brain predictions interfere with what you see | Georg Keller.
1. What causes people to see the striped dress differently, either gold and white or black and
blue?
We see the dress differently because of the prediction our brain makes about how it will
look, which is largely due to its context. Depending on the assumptions our brain makes
we will see it as either gold and white or black and blue.
2. Give an example that demonstrates why it important for the brain to predict what might
happen next?
If there was an object flying towards you or falling from a great height, when you moved
out of the way that is a form of predicting what is going to happen in the future and
reacting to protect yourself.
