Here's one more example, which shows just how quickly the brain can use new predictions to change what we consciously experience.
Instead of perception depending largely on signals coming into the brain from the outside world, it depends as much, if not more, on perceptual predictions flowing in the opposite direction.
Here we've combined immersive virtual reality with image processing to simulate the effects of overly strong perceptual predictions on experience.
We've processed the footage using an algorithm based on Google's Deep Dream to simulate the effects of overly strong perceptual predictions.
When perceptual predictions are too strong, as they are here, the result looks very much like the kinds of hallucinations people might report in altered states, or perhaps even in psychosis.
If hallucination is a kind of uncontrolled perception, then perception right here and right now is also a kind of hallucination, but a controlled hallucination in which the brain's predictions are being reined in by sensory information from the world.
When the brain uses predictions to figure out what's there, we perceive objects as the causes of sensations.
When the brain uses predictions to control and regulate things, we experience how well or how badly that control is going.
And these self-related predictions depend critically on sensory signals coming from deep inside the body.
It would take a couple of days, and then eventually she would come out of it, giving you her predictions as your answer.

Now, the good news is that we've come a long way from huffing ethylene gas to make predictions.
Because they can use the data to make predictions.
When we run our classifier on this image, we see we don't just get a prediction of dog or cat, we actually get specific breed predictions.
So this is 10 times faster than the 20-seconds-per-image detector, and you can see that by the time it makes predictions, the entire state of the world has changed, and this wouldn't be very useful for an application.
And as this information stacks, you can begin to make predictions.
At the scale of millennia, this allows us to make predictions about when highly active faults, like the San Andreas, are overdue for a massive earthquake.

Nonetheless, their predictions are perverted by a comparison that then does not carry through and change their experience.

Bouvard knew that his predictions were perfect.
Astronomers spent the next two decades meticulously tracking the position of Uranus across the sky, but it still didn't fit Bouvard's predictions.
The problem was not with those old star catalogs, the problem was with the predictions.
The most famous of these erroneous predictions came from Percival Lowell, who was convinced that there must be a planet just beyond Uranus and Neptune, messing with those orbits.
