Q

What is Bayesian inference?

A

Bayesian Inference (in relation to the brain): It’s like our brain’s method of making educated guesses. We start with an initial belief (guess), then when new information comes in, we update that belief to be more accurate. This is how we constantly adapt and learn from our environment.
