The appendix adds:
A note for Lesson no. 4, "Your Brain Predicts (Almost) Everything You Do," in Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain by Lisa Feldman Barrett.
Some context from page 66–67 is:
Your brain assembles these bits into memories to infer the meaning of the sense data and guess what to do about it.

The reference for this appendix entry is Edelman (1990).[1] But also see these references.[2][3]
