Bayesian maths for intuition

I read an article today that reflects my ideas on thinking. Brain patterns make noise, says Pouget, but the noise makes sense, he calls it "variability". The noise follows a pattern that can be predicted through Bayesian mathematics. It would explain why intuition appears after some time. It would be the result of an accord between neurons. These Bayesian patterns would make sense without looking as if they make sense.
This remembers me the time I was learning mathematics. One teacher made me sigh and I didn't understand much that year. Another teacher was able to explain the amazing relationships that I failed to see the year before. I learned maths and I learned that who teaches makes a difference and changes whether you perceive yourself as a possible mathematician or not.

Shakespear and grammar

Biological psychology and cognitive psychology are separated by several levels of explanation. This means that there are many steps between what happens when there is a change in chemicals in the brain and when a person thinks. This does not mean that there is no direct effect from the one on the other. This blog on britannica suggests there is an effect from reading Shakespeare on the brainwave patterns. The same effect that happens when reading a change in grammar.
