SUMMARY:Only predict? Conscious experience\, and the scope and limits of p
 redictive processing - Andy Clark (University of Edinburgh)

DESCRIPTION:The 'predictive processing' framework shows great promise as a
  means of both understanding and integrating many of the core information 
 processing strategies underlying perception\, thought and action. But this
  leaves many questions unanswered. What\, if anything\, does this deeply p
 robabilistic framework have to say about the nature of daily human experie
 nce and (indeed) the nature and possibility of conscious experience more g
 enerally? Can a story that posits prediction error minimization as cogniti
 ve bedrock accommodate the undoubted attractions of novelty and exploratio
 n? Is it falsifiable? What is the true scope of this story – can it real
 ly be a theory of 'everything cognitive'?
