*Neuroscience · Perception* A sudden bang. A door—or danger? Your brain predicts before it knows. Neuroscientist **Lisa Feldman Barrett** studies how the mind constructs experience through: - **Memory** — past patterns - **Senses** — incoming signals - **Expectations** — likely outcomes > Perception is an interpretation, not a perfect recording. This is *predictive processing*. **The question:** Are we living in the world—or in the story our brain builds about it?
