Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021 Previous work demonstrates that music with more surprising chords tends to be perceived as more enjoyable than music with more conventional harmonic structures. In that work, harmonic surprise was computed based upon a static distribution of chords. This

A Free Energy Principle for Biological Systems
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 ...

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

A bottom–up model of spatial attention predicts human error patterns in rapid scene recognition [PDF]
, 2007 Humans demonstrate a peculiar ability to detect complex targets in rapidly presented natural scenes. Recent studies suggest that (nearly) no focal attention is required for overall performance in such tasks.

Detecting communities using asymptotical Surprise
, 2015 Nodes in real-world networks are repeatedly observed to form dense clusters, often referred to as communities. Methods to detect these groups of nodes usually maximize an objective function, which implicitly contains the definition of a community.

Surprise ecologies: case studies on temporal vulnerability in four North American floodplains
Ecology and Society, 2019 When hazards, such as floods, are collectively experienced as "surprising", this heightens the shock experience and likelihood of disaster, and exacerbates its impact.

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...
