In this clip, Shamil explains how what we experience is based on what we expect to experience, modulated by data from sense perceptions.
But we never experience the raw data, and we never experience our beliefs - we only experience a model of reality based on a computation that weighs up the precision of both.

This four-week course offers a comprehensive science-informed guide to navigate the many styles of meditation, spiritual practise and philosophy aimed at liberation & human flourishing.
Blending lectures with guided meditations, the course introduces the latest neuroscience on how our minds construct reality — and how this understanding can be used to systematically reshape your brain’s predictive processes, reduce suffering, and open towards multidimensional human flourishing.
Shamil Chandaria, PhD, is a meditation researcher and thought leader in consciousness studies with academic ties to Oxford, Cambridge, and Imperial College London.
