The prediction part reminded me of lookahead pipelining in processors. It's an optimisation technic where the processor predicts what could happen next and already calculates this. You get more processing speed and you save energy. It's just logical that the brain does something simular.
Valuable lecture, enjoyed the charts! PS: On an experiential level though, it is unclear to me whether, my brain really learned to recognize the blobs as a bee or after having seen the ''answer'' it just started streaming the visual memory of a bee layering it over the visual image of the blobs. I still find possible to just see blobs and not make sense of them. So, since much of the lecture is in vibes of Kahneman's work, I would ask myself how much of the ''blob to bee'' experience is actually suggested by the lecturer?!
Does this mean all emotions are encoded i.e. they have been taught?...someone can teach you how to feel? Or your environment can teach you how to feel?
You learn your emotions from your parents like you learn your language from your parents. It's just an interpretation of your bodys current state or condition. What for one person could be anxiety could be excitment for the next one. The have both the same feeling but their brains interpret that feeling as a different emotion. And from these emotions they act differently... So the brain creates your reality in big parts.
All true, but emotions also come from the most primitive part of the brain that we are born with. Fear, jealousy, attraction, etc. Later we learn more sophisticated emotions.
Not according to Barrett. According to her work, we are born with affect, simple feelings or pleasure and displeasure, emotions like fear, jealousy and attraction are constructed and learned.
I know she says that emotions are learned, but I think its more that our reactions to emotions are learned and we modify them. I’ve read studies about animals and infants who feel, jealousy, and a sense of justice (fair play) and my own observations tell me that the emotions are with us in our most primitive brain connections. Do you disagree with this? Im guessing it’s all more complicated than we think.
@@michelechaussabel732 That primitive brain theory is based on stereotypes. Yes, instead of thinking as humans "we must operate the same", think "there is much variation to ways we can operate even if those around us might operate the same."
This is the shortened version of her book "how emotions are made - the secret life of the brain" - worth a read. There's a lot more analogies and stories and explanations of concepts. The snake version of the example of experiential blindness is much better at least in my opinion, rather than the bee.
very interesting, but how could she use this picture of the poor naked victim girl from Vietnam, I'm deeply shocked, a scientist should know that such a picture should not be used "like all the others", sorry.

Excellent, informative, thank
you so much.
How can predictive coding impact treatment options for chronic pain sufferers?
Amazing scientist she is.

@Michael M those "damn encoders" only passing on their own encoding they received from theirs.
You learn your emotions from your parents like you learn your language from your parents. It's just an interpretation of your bodys current state or condition.

Wait!!! What?!!! Emojis are not effective communication tools?
Lisa outing the inside... :)

..and listen again, second time to bits I missed first time.

Why not? 🙄
Would you had preferred if she use her picture to invoke sadness and anger instead in you instead like the journalists do?
