Maybe rather then 'free energy' there is a better term? How about "minimum energy machine" - the idea here being that what the brain does is to generate a model or simulation that tries to generate an internal state that exactly cancels out the incoming stimuli. What is used for error detection is something called "edge detection" which is a way to detect both movement and amount by comparing the input and the memory or simulation and then modifying the model/simulation so once again match the incoming.
This is interesting because all the biological/neurological processing each sense needs and vision has many different delays SO the model/simulation needs to run in the future,... (read 576 more words →)
