REBUS and the anarchic brain: toward a unified model of the brain action of psychedelics
This paper formulates the action of psychedelics by integrating the free-energy principle and
entropic brain hypothesis. We call this formulation relaxed beliefs under psychedelics …

Predictive processes and the peculiar case of music
We suggest that music perception is an active act of listening, providing an irresistible
epistemic offering. When listening to music we constantly generate plausible hypotheses …

In vitro neurons learn and exhibit sentience when embodied in a simulated game-world
Integrating neurons into digital systems may enable performance infeasible with silicon
alone. Here, we develop DishBrain, a system that harnesses the inherent adaptive …

[BOOK][B] The dynamics of the linguistic system: Usage, conventionalization, and entrenchment
HJ Schmid - 2020 - books.google.com
This volume outlines a model of language that can be characterized as functionalist, usage-
based, dynamic, and complex-adaptive. The core idea is that linguistic structure is not stable …
