Current technology-driven neuroscience is still largely fuelled by an empiricist philosophy assuming that the brain's goal is to perceive, represent the world, and learn the truth.

In contrast, This work advocates that the brain's fundamental function is to induce actions and predict the consequences of those actions to support the survival and prosperity of the brain's host.
