The iterative procedure of projecting a model on evidence and taking evidence back into the model helps in constantly hallucinating the explanation of the world based on the model. The feedback mechanism used helps explain the evidence using the world model.

Neuroscience
Summary

Feedback connections in the cortex allow for inference, or the process of explaining evidence using a model of the world. This process involves the iterative procedure of projecting the model onto evidence and taking the evidence back into the model through feed-forward feedback propagation.
