    2 rather informal definitions have been offered:

    • 1 Knill & Pouget 2004
    “Bayesian coding hypothesis:
    Brain represents sensory information probabilistically, in the form of probability distributions”

    • 2 Friston 2012
    “Bayesian brain says that we are trying to infer the causes of our sensations based on a generative model of the world.”

    Neither even mentions #Bayesian #computations

    What then is exactly meant by #BayesianBrain ?
