Some Interesting Observations on the Free Energy Principle
Published 2021-08-01“…We use these observations to scaffold a discussion of the technical arguments that underwrite the free energy principle. This discussion focuses on solenoidal coupling between various (subsets of) states in sparsely coupled systems that possess a Markov blanket—and the distinction between exact and approximate Bayesian inference, implied by the ensuing Bayesian mechanics.…”

Stochastic Chaos and Markov Blankets
Published 2021-09-01“…These independencies underwrite a particular partition of states, in which internal states are statistically secluded from external states by blanket states. …”

Reclaiming saliency: Rhythmic precision-modulated action and perception
Published 2022-07-01“…Briefly, we associate attention with precision control, i.e., the confidence with which beliefs can be updated given sampled sensory data, and salience with uncertainty minimization that underwrites the selection of future sensory data. Using this, we propose a new account of attention based on rhythmic precision-modulation and discuss its potential in robotics, providing numerical experiments that showcase its advantages for state and noise estimation, system identification and action selection for informative path planning.…”

Active Inference and Auditory Hallucinations
Published 2018-12-01“…This model expresses, in formal terms, alternative computational mechanisms that underwrite AVH and, speculatively, can be mapped onto neurobiological changes associated with schizophrenia. …”
