A controversial theory suggests that perception, motor control, memory and other brain functions all depend on comparisons between ongoing actual experiences and the brain’s modeled expectations.
As coincidence, I have been thinking about this a lot recently due to some symptoms I described in an earlier post somewhere on this forum. I'll repeat the comment I left on the Facebook post for this article.
" I have an illness known as M.E. which involves neurological and cognitive issues. Recently, I have been having vision problems including after-images and floaters. Strangely, I'm getting a weird sensation when my brain EXPECTS something to happen. For example, if I go to swipe the page up on my laptop and I accidentally miss the trackpad (something which happens every now and then), I get a strange brief dizziness because what my brain expected to happen (the page moving up or down) did not happen. This would fit with this new theory."
I feel like for me, something is going wrong in this communication.... Interesting.
