We humans possess a Bayesian brain, which implies that our prior memories/experiences/expectations determine our newer experience. It is a pre-conditioned brain that perceives.
This pre-conditioning is partly determined by the free energy principle which states that the difference in free energy between our prior brain states and brain states following the particular experience that is the least, is the one that is selected and retained as an experience/memory. This difference in free energy could be alternatively termed, "minimize surprise".
