Prediction Error

10 players, 2 hours
Neuronal role-playing, modified prediction processing model

Prediction Error is two hour workshop on becoming elements of the hidden states underlying our delusions and hallucinations.

After an introduction by cognitive neuroscientist Phillip Corlett, Director of the Belief, Learning, and Memory Lab at Yale, we simulate a predictive coding model.

These models provide a mechanistic description of delusion formation as a result of overactive prediction error systems that can no longer accurately contextualize our surrounding environment.
