Rather than interpreting reality from sensory perception in a bottom-up way, apparently our brain is constantly making predictions about the world and just using sensory input to “error correct” its predictions. So we are all hallucinating, it’s just that most of us are checking our hallucinations so they stay relatively in line with reality.

Hi! I'm Emma. I'm an ideator, optimizer, and personal growth nerd, with a dash of woo and politics. This is my "kitchen sink" blog, where I share random notes from my life, including the various rabbit holes I go down. I have a more focused site where I write about how to heal CPTSD and attachment trauma with fierce gentleness over at Joy Ninja.
