Presumably part of the feedback loop (at least for things like motor skills and rote memorisation) is external to the brain. Our brain causes us to act, which alters our perceptions, which causes the brain to adjust.
- salawat 6y agoAnnnd... What exactly encodes that perception thing? The brain! There's nothing magicabout sense data except that it's how we're used to tweaking things. It is still, in the end, just more neurons telling other neurons what's off. Sure, some are hooked up to photoreceptors. I could swap those out with about anything else and still get learning. Unfortunately, the practical benefit of mastery of stuff you imagine tends to be less useful than it feels like it should be IRL.
