If it doesn\u2019t feel like how you expect, your brain uses that feedback to inform your next action \u2014 maybe you pull your hand away. Previous models of how the brain works have typically separated perception and action. For Allen School professor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajeshpnrao.com\/\">Rajesh Rao<\/a>, those two processes are closely intertwined, and their relationship can be mapped using a computational algorithm.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis flips the traditional paradigm of perception occurring before action,\u201d said Rao, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cs.washington.edu\/supportcse\/faculty\/hwang_professorship\">Cherng Jia and Elizabeth Yun Hwang Professor<\/a> in the Allen School and University of Washington Department of Electrical &amp; Computer Engineering and co-director of the <a href=\"https:\/\/centerforneurotech.uw.edu\/\">Center for Neurotechnology<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Break it down: How AI can learn from the brain.
