How this receipt has changed
Top-down mechanisms such as expectation and prior knowledge profoundly shape the way sensory input is processed in the brain.
This receipt has not been rewritten since it was published on 04 Oct 2026. Its current version is 1.
Weight is the one the receipt's balance bar uses: every source counts 1, plus a bounded bonus for how often it has been cited, so one famous paper cannot outweigh three dissenting ones (at most 3x a bare source). It is a reading aid built from facts the receipt already stores, not the engine's confidence.
