A step-by-step tutorial on active inference and its application to empirical data
Journal of Mathematical Psychology, 2021 The active inference framework, and in particular its recent formulation as a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP), has gained increasing popularity in recent years as a useful approach for modeling neurocognitive processes.

Reward Maximization Through Discrete Active Inference
Neural Computation, 2023 Active inference is a probabilistic framework for modeling the behavior of biological and artificial agents, which derives from the principle of minimizing free energy.

Entropy, 2021 Active inference is a physics of life process theory of perception, action and learning that is applicable to natural and artificial agents. In this paper, active inference theory is related to different types of practice in social organization.

Impulsivity and Active Inference [PDF]
Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2019 This paper characterizes impulsive behavior using a patch-leaving paradigm and active inference—a framework for describing Bayes optimal behavior. This paradigm comprises different environments (patches) with limited resources that decline over time at different rates.

The theory of constructed emotion: an active inference account of interoception and categorization
Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, 2017 The science of emotion has been using folk psychology categories derived from philosophy to search for the brain basis of emotion. The last two decades of neuroscience research have brought us to the brink of a paradigm shift in understanding the ...

Order and change in art: towards an active inference account of aesthetic experience
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences, 2023 How to account for the power that art holds over us? Why do artworks touch us deeply, consoling, transforming or invigorating us in the process? In this paper, we argue that an answer to this question might emerge from a fecund framework in cognitive ...

Active inference and learning [PDF]
Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2016 This paper offers an active inference account of choice behaviour and learning. It focuses on the distinction between goal-directed and habitual behaviour and how they contextualise each other. We show that habits emerge naturally (and autodidactically) from sequential policy optimisation when agents are equipped with state-action policies.

Active inference, morphogenesis, and computational psychiatry
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2022 Active inference is a leading theory in neuroscience that provides a simple and neuro-biologically plausible account of how action and perception are coupled in producing (Bayes) optimal behavior; and has been recently used to explain a variety of ...

Multimodal VAE Active Inference Controller [PDF]
2021 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), 2021 Active inference, a theoretical construct inspired by brain processing, is a promising alternative to control artificial agents. However, current methods do not yet scale to high-dimensional inputs in continuous control. Here we present a novel active inference torque controller for industrial arms that maintains the adaptive characteristics of ...

Flexible intentions: An Active Inference theory
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2023 We present a normative computational theory of how the brain may support visually-guided goal-directed actions in dynamically changing environments. It extends the Active Inference theory of cortical processing according to which the brain maintains ...
