The Bayesian brain: What is it and do humans have it?

Dobromir Rahnev. Behav Brain Sci. .

Abstract

It has been widely asserted that humans have a "Bayesian brain." Surprisingly, however, this term has never been defined and appears to be used differently by different authors. I argue that Bayesian brain should be used to denote the realist view that brains are actual Bayesian machines and point out that there is currently no evidence for such a claim.
