Lo que Aprenderás
- Identify how evolutionary visual shortcuts lead to sensory gaps in daily perception.
- Analyze the neural circuits responsible for filling in missing information.
- Understand the mechanics of inference engines that predict environmental reality.
- Evaluate how the brain uses relative context rather than absolute values.
- Recognize the cognitive biases that stem from neural speed-over-accuracy trade-offs.
How the brain's evolutionary need for speed creates sensory gaps.
