Excess of individual variability of priors prevents successful development of general models

Talis Bachmann. Behav Brain Sci. 2018 Jan.

Abstract

Perceptual judgments are influenced by a multitude of factors in addition to the perceptual input. Particularly, the widely varying individual neurobiological endophenotypes and individual differences in the propensity for expectation-based illusory percepts make it unlikely that optimality is possible to define and defend by the type of abstract modeling approach criticized by Rahnev & Denison (R&D).
