Kinetic Energy and the Free Energy Principle in the Birth of Human Life
Reproductive MedicineThe 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.

Modeling of a Neural System Based on Statistical Mechanics
Entropy, 2018 The minimization of a free energy is often regarded as the key principle in understanding how the brain works and how the brain structure forms. In particular, a statistical-mechanics-based neural network model is expected to allow one to interpret many ...

Effect of the Minimal Length on Bose-Einstein Condensation in the Relativistic Ideal Bose Gas
, 2014 Based on the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP), the critical temperature and the Helmholtz free energy of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in the relativistic ideal Bose gas are investigated. At the non-relativistic limit and the ultra-relativistic

Free-energy Minimization and The Dark Room Problem
Frontiers in Psychology, 2012 Recent years have seen the emergence of an important new fundamental theory of brain function. This theory brings information-theoretic, Bayesian, neuroscientific, and machine learning approaches into a single framework whose overarching principle is the

Free Energy and the Generalized Optimality Equations for Sequential Decision Making
, 2012 The free energy functional has recently been proposed as a variational principle for bounded rational decision-making, since it instantiates a natural trade-off between utility gains and information processing costs that can be axiomatically derived ...

A Simple Theory of Every 'Thing' [PDF]
, 2019 One of the criteria to a strong principle in natural sciences is simplicity. This paper claims that the Free Energy Principle (FEP), by virtue of unifying particles with mind, is the simplest.

Some general principles in free energy transduction. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1983 Chemical potentials or standard chemical potentials of bound ligands cannot be used to follow the step-by-step transfer of free energy from one ligand to another in a free energy transducing cycle. The basic difficulty is that, in most states of the cycle, separate ligand free energies are not even defined because, when ligands are bound on the enzyme,

A Measure of Information Available for Inference
Entropy, 2018 The mutual information between the state of a neural network and the state of the external world represents the amount of information stored in the neural network that is associated with the external world.

Computational enactivism under the free energy principle [PDF]
Synthese, 2019 AbstractIn this paper, I argue that enactivism and computationalism—two seemingly incompatible research traditions in modern cognitive science—can be fruitfully reconciled under the framework of the free energy principle (FEP). FEP holds that cognitive systems encode generative models of their niches and cognition can be understood in terms of ...

Hierarchical disruption in the Bayesian brain: Focal epilepsy and brain networks
NeuroImage: Clinical, 2017 In this opinion paper, we describe a combined view of functional and effective brain connectivity along with the free-energy principle for investigating persistent disruptions in brain networks of patients with focal epilepsy.
