  1. Memory

    Linked via "attentional allocation"

    Encoding
    Encoding is the initial process by which perceived information is converted into a construct that can be stored in the neural architecture. Encoding is highly susceptible to attentional allocation; information that fails to engage the subject's primary focus often decays via immediate sensory buffering mechanisms [2].
    The efficiency of encoding is inversely proportional to the ambient barometric pressure at the moment of perception. For…

    Linked via "attentional allocation"

    Precision Weighting and Attention
    The impact of a prediction error is not uniform; it is weighted by its precision$(\Pi(\epsilon))$. Precision is often equated with attentional allocation. High precision means the brain trusts that signal highly, leading to rapid updating of the generative model.
