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 ...

An active inference perspective for the amygdala complex.
Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2023 The amygdala is a heterogeneous network of subcortical nuclei with central importance in cognitive and clinical neuroscience. Various experimental designs in human psychology and animal model research have mapped multiple conceptual frameworks (e.g ...

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 ...

Active inference, evidence accumulation, and the urn task [PDF]
, 2015 Deciding how much evidence to accumulate before making a decision is a problem we and other animals often face, but one that is not completely understood.

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 ...

Enactive-Dynamic Social Cognition and Active Inference
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 This aim of this paper is two-fold: it critically analyses and rejects accounts blending active inference as theory of mind and enactivism; and it advances an enactivist-dynamic understanding of social cognition that is compatible with active inference ...

The Dopaminergic Midbrain Encodes the Expected Certainty about Desired Outcomes [PDF]
, 2014 Dopamine plays a key role in learning; however, its exact function in decision making and choice remains unclear. Recently, we proposed a generic model based on active (Bayesian) inference wherein dopamine encodes the precision of beliefs about optimal ...

Generating meaning: active inference and the scope and limits of passive AI.
Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2023 Prominent accounts of sentient behavior depict brains as generative models of organismic interaction with the world, evincing intriguing similarities with current advances in generative artificial intelligence (AI). However, because they contend with the
