Pain: A Statistical Account
Perception is seen as a process that utilises partial and noisy information to construct a coherent understanding of the world. Tabor et al. argue that the experience of pain is no different; it is based on incomplete, multimodal information, which is used to estimate potential bodily threat. The authors outline a Bayesian inference model which highlights the statistical problems in everyday perception.
