Active inference is a normative principle underwriting perception, action, planning, decision-
making and learning in biological or artificial agents. From its inception, its associated …

Motivated control refers to the coordination of behaviour to achieve affectively valenced
outcomes or goals. The study of motivated control traditionally assumes a distinction …

This paper considers functional integration in the brain from a computational perspective.
We ask what sort of neuronal message passing is mandated by active inference—and what …

Unexpected events are part of everyday experience. They come in several varieties—action
errors, unexpected action outcomes, and unexpected perceptual events—and they lead to …

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of 3 different targets is the most important therapeutic
innovation of the past 30 years for patients with fluctuating Parkinson's disease (PD) …

Objective This study was undertaken to compare the rate of change in cognition between
glucocerebrosidase (GBA) mutation carriers and noncarriers with and without subthalamic …

The subthalamic nucleus (STN) of the basal ganglia appears to have a potent role in action
and cognition. Anatomical and imaging studies show that different frontal cortical areas …

Subcortical brain structures are integral to motion, consciousness, emotions and learning.
We identified common genetic variation related to the volumes of the nucleus accumbens …

The psychological concepts of working memory and attention are widely used in the
cognitive and neuroscientific literatures. Perhaps because of the interdisciplinary appeal of …

To infer the causes of its sensations, the brain must call on a generative (predictive) model.
This necessitates passing local messages between populations of neurons to update beliefs …
