Keeping the Breath in Mind: Respiration, Neural Oscillations, and the Free Energy Principle [PDF]

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Scientific interest in the brain and body interactions has been surging in recent years. One fundamental yet underexplored aspect of brain and body interactions is the link between the respiratory and the nervous systems.

The Free Energy Principle drives neuromorphic development

Neuromorphic Computing and Engineering, 2022
We show how any system with morphological degrees of freedom and locally limited free energy will, under the constraints of the free energy principle, evolve toward a neuromorphic morphology that supports hierarchical computations in which each level of ...

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.

Cognitive fatigue from schema rigidity and entropy externalization: a free energy principle perspective [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychology
Cognitive fatigue is typically described as a psychobiological state that arises from intensive and/or prolonged cognitive performance and is experienced as a subjective feeling of exhaustion and lack of energy.

A Tale of Two Principles—Towards a Relational Perspective on the Free Energy Principle [PDF]

Entropy
The Free Energy Principle (FEP) offers a physically grounded account of intentional properties in mind and life, framed in the context of Dynamical Systems Theory.

Is the Free-Energy Principle a Formal Theory of Semantics? From Variational Density Dynamics to Neural and Phenotypic Representations [PDF]

Entropy, 2020
The aim of this paper is twofold: (1) to assess whether the construct of neural representations plays an explanatory role under the variational free-energy principle and its corollary process theory, active inference; and (2) if so, to assess which ...

A Psychovisual Quality Metric in Free-Energy Principle

IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, 2011
In this paper, we propose a new psychovisual quality metric of images based on recent developments in brain theory and neuroscience, particularly the free-energy principle.

Kinetic Energy and the Free Energy Principle in the Birth of Human Life

Reproductive Medicine
The retrospective noninterventional study investigated the kinetic energy of video images of 18 fertilized eggs (7 were normal and 11 were abnormal) recorded by a time-lapse device leading up to the beginning of the first cleavage.
