Bayesian approaches to brain function

Bayesian approaches to brain function try to understand how our brain uses information to make decisions. It's like a game of guess and check. The brain starts with an idea about something, tests it and then updates the idea based on what it learns. This way, the brain can find the best solution to a problem or the right answer to a question without having to do lots of work.
