| Abstract | This project examines how the human brain predicts, edits, and sometimes distorts perception to ensure survival. It explores predictive processing, sensory integration, fear responses, and pain perception to understand how reality is constructed by the brain rather than directly observed. The purpose is to explain how these neural mechanisms prioritize survival over accuracy. |
