The brain tries to predict the current suite of cues from its best models of the possible causes rather than building its current model of distal causes simply by accumulating low-level cues from the bottom up.
“Instead (see Hohwy 2007), the brain tries to predict the current suite of cues from its best models of the possible causes.”

“As Bartels and Zeki (2004, p. 1155) discuss, it turns out that some of the deactivated areas are normally " associated with negative emotions, social judgment and 'mentalizing', that is, the assessment of other people's intentions and emotions.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
