Over the past 20 years, neuroimaging has become a predominant technique in systems
neuroscience. One might envisage that over the next 20 years the neuroimaging of …

This paper considers psychotic symptoms in terms of false inferences or beliefs. It is based
on the notion that the brain is an inference machine that actively constructs hypotheses to …

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 …

The aim of this article is to clarify how best to interpret some of the central constructs that
underwrite the free-energy principle (FEP)–and its corollary, active inference–in theoretical …

A free-energy principle has been proposed recently that accounts for action, perception and
learning. This Review looks at some key brain theories in the biological (for example, neural …

We suggested recently that attention can be understood as inferring the level of uncertainty
or precision during hierarchical perception. In this paper, we try to substantiate this claim …

Users of psychedelic drugs often report that their sense of being a self or 'I'distinct from the
rest of the world has diminished or altogether dissolved. Neuroscientific study of such 'ego …

This article reviews a free-energy formulation that advances Helmholtz's agenda to find
principles of brain function based on conservation laws and neuronal energy. It rests on …

This article concerns the nature of evoked brain responses and the principles underlying
their generation. We start with the premise that the sensory brain has evolved to represent or …
