Action and behavior: a free-energy formulation [PDF]
, 2010 We have previously tried to explain perceptual inference and learning under a free-energy principle that pursues Helmholtz’s agenda to understand the brain in terms of energy minimization. It is fairly easy to show that making inferences about the causes

Calculation of the Intrinsic Solvation Free Energy Profile of an Ionic Penetrant Across a Liquid–Liquid Interface with Computer Simulations [PDF]
, 2013 We introduce the novel concept of an intrinsic free energy profile, allowing one to remove the artificial smearing caused by thermal capillary waves, which renders difficulties for the calculation of free energy profiles across fluid interfaces in ...

Is the free-energy principle neurocentric? [PDF]
Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2010 Recently, a free-energy formulation of brain function was reviewed in relation to several other neurobiological theories (The freeenergy principle: a unified brain theory? Nature Rev. Neurosci. 11, 127–138 (2010))1. Fiorillo raises some interesting questions about the formulation from a neurocentric perspective (A neurocentric approach to Bayesian ...

Predictive coding under the free-energy principle [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2009 This paper considers prediction and perceptual categorization as an inference problem that is solved by the brain. We assume that the brain models the world as a hierarchy or cascade of dynamical systems that encode causal structure in the sensorium. Perception is equated with the optimization or inversion of these internal models, to explain sensory ...

Free-Energy-Based Gene Mutation Detection Using LNA Probes
, 2019 We have developed a label-free approach for direct detection of gene mutations using free-energy values that are derived from single-molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS)-based nucleic acid unbinding experiments.

Multiscale Free Energy Analysis of Human Ecosystem Engineering
Entropy, 2021 Unlike ecosystem engineering by other living things, which brings a relatively limited range of sensations that are connected to a few enduring survival preferences, human ecosystem engineering brings an increasing variety and frequency of novel ...
