title: Probability by Time.
abstract: In this issue of Neuron, Orbán et al. (2016) test whether the brain represents probabilities by sampling: do neurons interpret the world by generating causal explanations of sense data and quickly sample different interpretations over time? Orbán et al. (2016) find agreement between this model's predictions and neural data.
