Psychoanalytic psychotherapies and the free energy principle [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022 In this paper I propose a model of the fundamental components of psychoanalytic psychotherapies that I try to explicate with contemporary theories of the Bayesian brain and the Free Energy Principle (FEP).

Experimental validation of the free-energy principle with in vitro neural networks [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 Empirical applications of the free-energy principle are not straightforward because they entail a commitment to a particular process theory, especially at the cellular and synaptic levels.

Turn-Taking Mechanisms in Imitative Interaction: Robotic Social Interaction Based on the Free Energy Principle [PDF]
Entropy, 2023 This study explains how the leader-follower relationship and turn-taking could develop in a dyadic imitative interaction by conducting robotic simulation experiments based on the free energy principle.

A Free Energy Principle for Biological Systems [PDF]
Entropy, 2012 This paper describes a free energy principle that tries to explain the ability of biological systems to resist a natural tendency to disorder. It appeals to circular causality of the sort found in synergetic formulations of self-organization (e.g., the ...

Formalizing Lacanian psychoanalysis through the free energy principle [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychologyThis study presents a computational formalization of Lacanian psychoanalysis using the framework of the free energy principle (FEP)—a theoretical framework for modeling self-organizing systems across multiple scales.

Active Vision for Robot Manipulators Using the Free Energy Principle [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2021 Occlusions, restricted field of view and limited resolution all constrain a robot's ability to sense its environment from a single observation. In these cases, the robot first needs to actively query multiple observations and accumulate information ...

The Free Energy Principle for Perception and Action: A Deep Learning Perspective [PDF]
Entropy, 2022 The free energy principle, and its corollary active inference, constitute a bio-inspired theory that assumes biological agents act to remain in a restricted set of preferred states of the world, i.e., they minimize their free energy. Under this principle,

Connecting the free energy principle with quantum cognition [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2022 It appears that the free energy minimization principle conflicts with quantum cognition since the former adheres to a restricted view based on experience while the latter allows deviations from such a restricted view.

Models of the Translation Process and the Free Energy Principle [PDF]
Entropy, 2023 Translation process research (TPR) has generated a large number of models that aim at explaining human translation processes. In this paper, I suggest an extension of the monitor model to incorporate aspects of relevance theory (RT) and to adopt the free
