The #Neuroscience of #Belonging
Belonging isn't just a warm, fuzzy concept—it's wired into us.

Interesting study on the computational role of prior probability in perceptual choices, finding that priors change the accumulation rate of evidence rather than the baseline. Nicely in line with work by @clarepress.bsky.social & @danieljamesyon.bsky.social: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... 🧠🤖 🧠🟦
