Edited by brook, Roman Leventov last updated 26th Dec 2022

Neuroscience is a field of study dealing with the structure or function of the brain. It is of particular interest to LessWrong both because it can shed light on AI, and because it is often helpful for rationality.

  • Predictive processing
  • FEP/Active Inference
  • A Thousand Brains theory
