The theory of Bayesian causal inference is a powerful and versatile theory that can explain human behavior and brain function, making it highly significant in neuroscience research.
Understanding of the brain and the principles governing neural processing requires theories that are parsimonious, can account for a diverse set of phenomena, and can make testable predictions. Here, we review the theory of Bayesian causal inference, which has been tested, refined, and extended in a variety of tasks in humans and other primates by several research groups. Bayesian causal inference is normative and has explained human behavior in a vast number of tasks including unisensory and multisensory perceptual tasks, sensorimotor, and motor tasks, and has accounted for counter-intuitive findings. The theory has made novel predictions that have been tested and confirmed empirically, and recent studies have started to map its algorithms and neural implementation in the human brain. The parsimony, the diversity of the phenomena that the theory has explained, and its illuminating brain function at all three of Marr's levels of analysis make Bayesian causal inference a strong neuroscience theory. This also highlights the importance of collaborative and multidisciplinary research for the development of new theories in neuroscience.
