Scientists have confirmed that human brains are naturally wired to perform advanced calculations, much like a high-powered computer, to make sense of the world through a process known as Bayesian inference.
, researchers from the University of Sydney, University of Queensland and University of Cambridge developed a specific mathematical model that closely matches how human brains work when it comes to reading vision. The model contained everything needed to carry out Bayesian inference.
This inherent capability enables people to interpret the environment with extraordinary precision and speed, unlike machines that can be bested by simple CAPTCHA security measures when prompted to identify fire hydrants in a panel of images. "Our new study sheds light on this mystery. We discovered that the basic structure and connections within our brain's visual system are set up in a way that allows it to perform Bayesian inference on the sensory data it receives.
The study's findings not only confirm existing theories about the brain's use of Bayesian-like inference but open doors to new research and innovation, where the brain's natural ability for Bayesian inference can be harnessed for practical applications that benefit society."Our research, while primarily focussed on visual perception, holds broader implications across the spectrum of neuroscience and psychology," Dr Rideaux said.
