Bayesian Brain

Probabilistic Approaches to Neural Coding
Edited by Kenji Doya, Shin Ishii, Alexandre Pouget and Rajesh P.N. Rao

A Bayesian approach can contribute to an understanding of the brain on multiple levels, by giving normative predictions about how an ideal sensory system should combine prior knowledge and observation, by providing mechanistic interpretation of the dynamic functioning of the brain circuit, and by suggesting optimal ways of deciphering experimental data.
