The brain always predicts the world. We see brain’s predictions as the world. Sensory observations are the only source of correction for predictions. Our perception is an estimate based on predictions and sensory observations. This estimation follows Bayes’ theorem. Prediction error is calculated as information surprise. The brain recognizes the world by minimizing prediction errors. This essential function of the brain and its mathematical model explains and predicts human perception, emotions and self-awareness. We discuss how to apply the brain model toward human-centered society.
