An oracle that correctly predicts the outcome of every particle physics experiment, the
products of every possible chemical reaction or the function of every protein would …

We review the fast-growing work on salience and economic behavior. Psychological
research shows that salient stimuli attract human attention bottom up due to their high …

This paper provides a concise description of the free energy principle, starting from a
formulation of random dynamical systems in terms of a Langevin equation and ending with a …

We investigated the differential diffusion of all of the verified true and false news stories
distributed on Twitter from 2006 to 2017. The data comprise~ 126,000 stories tweeted by~ 3 …

Predictive coding offers a potentially unifying account of cortical function--postulating that the
core function of the brain is to minimize prediction errors with respect to a generative model …

Novelty detection is commonly referred as the discrimination of observations that do not
conform to a learned model of regularity. Despite its importance in different application …

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 …

This article describes a process theory based on active inference and belief propagation.
Starting from the premise that all neuronal processing (and action selection) can be …

We propose dynamic task prioritization for multitask learning. This allows a model to
dynamically prioritize difficult tasks during training, where difficulty is inversely proportional …

A thought-provoking argument that consciousness—more widespread than previously
assumed—is the feeling of being alive, not a type of computation or a clever hack In The …
