Resilience and active inference

Frontiers in Psychology, 2022
In this article, we aim to conceptualize and formalize the construct of resilience using the tools of active inference, a new physics-based modeling approach apt for the description and analysis of complex adaptive systems. We intend this as a first step

Active Inference and Auditory Hallucinations [PDF]

Computational Psychiatry, 2018
Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH) are often distressing symptoms of several neuropsychiatric conditions, including schizophrenia. Using a Markov decision process formulation of active inference, we develop a novel model of AVH as false (positive ...

Active Inferants: An Active Inference Framework for Ant Colony Behavior [PDF]

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2021
In this paper, we introduce an active inference model of ant colony foraging behavior, and implement the model in a series of in silico experiments. Active inference is a multiscale approach to behavioral modeling that is being applied across settings in

Understanding, Explanation, and Active Inference [PDF]

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2021
While machine learning techniques have been transformative in solving a range of problems, an important challenge is to understand why they arrive at the decisions they output.

Shared Protentions in Multi-Agent Active Inference [PDF]

Entropy
In this paper, we unite concepts from Husserlian phenomenology, the active inference framework in theoretical biology, and category theory in mathematics to develop a comprehensive framework for understanding social action premised on shared goals.

Learning Generative State Space Models for Active Inference

Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2020
In this paper we investigate the active inference framework as a means to enable autonomous behavior in artificial agents. Active inference is a theoretical framework underpinning the way organisms act and observe in the real world.

Representation Wars: Enacting an Armistice Through Active Inference

Frontiers in Psychology, 2021
Over the last 30 years, representationalist and dynamicist positions in the philosophy of cognitive science have argued over whether neurocognitive processes should be viewed as representational or not.

The neural correlates of novelty and variability in human decision-making under an active inference framework [PDF]

eLife
Active inference integrates perception, decision-making, and learning into a united theoretical framework, providing an efficient way to trade off exploration and exploitation by minimizing (expected) free energy.

An active inference account of stuttering behavior [PDF]

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience
This paper presents an interpretation of stuttering behavior, based on the principles of the active inference framework. Stuttering is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by speech disfluencies such as repetitions, prolongations, and blocks.

An active inference implementation of phototaxis [PDF]

ECAL 2017, the Fourteenth European Conference on Artificial Life, 2017
Active inference is emerging as a possible unifying theory ofperception and action in cognitive and computational neuro-science. On this theory, perception is a process of inferringthe causes of sensory data by minimising the error betweenactual ...
