    Abstract

    In this Primer, Daniel Yon and Chris Frith explain ‘precision’ – a key concept in Bayesian models of the mind and brain. The idea of precision is central to current thinking across the cognitive sciences, but in recent years ideas about precision have begun to change. This raises important questions about precisely how precision works.
