An Active Inference Account of Touch and Verbal Communication in Therapy
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 This paper offers theoretical explanations for why “guided touch” or manual touch with verbal communication can be an effective way of treating the body (e.g., chronic pain) and the mind (e.g., emotional disorders).

On Markov blankets and hierarchical self-organisation
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2020 Biological self-organisation can be regarded as a process of spontaneous pattern formation; namely, the emergence of structures that distinguish themselves from their environment. This process can occur at nested spatial scales: from the microscopic (e.g., the emergence of cells) to the macroscopic (e.g. the emergence of organisms).

Sentience and the Origins of Consciousness: From Cartesian Duality to Markovian Monism
Entropy, 2020 This essay addresses Cartesian duality and how its implicit dialectic might be repaired using physics and information theory. Our agenda is to describe a key distinction in the physical sciences that may provide a foundation for the distinction between ...

Designing Reconfigurable Intelligent Systems with Markov Blankets
, 2023 Compute Continuum (CC) systems comprise a vast number of devices distributed over computational tiers. Evaluating business requirements, i.e., Service Level Objectives (SLOs), requires collecting data from all those devices; if SLOs are violated, devices must be reconfigured to ensure correct operation.

Recurrent, nonequilibrium systems and the Markov blanket assumption
Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2022 Abstract Markov blankets – statistical independences between system and environment – have become popular to describe the boundaries of living systems under Bayesian views of cognition. The intuition behind Markov blankets originates from considering acyclic, atemporal networks.

Bootstrapped Markov blanket discovery.
, 2014 Bayesian network inference (BNI) is performed on 400 bootstraps of size 20000. The -axis represents the fraction of bootstraps that a feature occurs in the Markov blanket of integration proximity in a resulting Bayesian network, i.e.
