The fields of neuroscience and artificial intelligence (AI) have a long and intertwined history.
In more recent times, however, communication and collaboration between the two fields has …

During learning, the brain modifies synapses to improve behaviour. In the cortex, synapses
are embedded within multilayered networks, making it difficult to determine the effect of an …

Recent progress in artificial intelligence has renewed interest in building systems that learn
and think like people. Many advances have come from using deep neural networks trained …

The science of emotion has been using folk psychology categories derived from philosophy
to search for the brain basis of emotion. The last two decades of neuroscience research …

How is it that thoroughly physical material beings such as ourselves can think, dream, feel,
create and understand ideas, theories and concepts? How does mere matter give rise to all …

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 …

Perception and perceptual decision-making are strongly facilitated by prior knowledge about
the probabilistic structure of the world. While the computational benefits of using prior …

Intuition suggests that perception follows sensation and therefore bodily feelings originate in
the body. However, recent evidence goes against this logic: interoceptive experience may …

The neuroscience of perception has recently been revolutionized with an integrative
modeling approach in which computation, brain function, and behavior are linked across …

Background The human brain presents a puzzling and challenging paradox: Despite a fixed
anatomy, characterized by its connectivity, its functional repertoire is vast, enabling action …
