Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain — Predictive Body Budgeting and Human Perception
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
This episode explores Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain by Lisa Feldman Barrett as a systems-level analysis of how predictive brain regulation shapes human perception, emotion, and behavior.
Rather than focusing on the popular myth of the “lizard brain,” the episode examines the brain as a biological system designed to manage the body’s energy budget through prediction. By analyzing the incentive structures that allow simplified neuroscience narratives to persist, the episode shows how cultural understanding of the brain influences broader institutional systems.
