Active inference is emerging as a possible unifying theory of perception and action in cognitive and computational neuroscience. On this theory, perception is a process of inferring the causes of sensory data by minimising the error between actual sensations and those predicted by an inner \emph{generative} (probabilistic) model. Action on the other hand is drawn as a process that modifies the world such that the consequent sensory input meets expectations encoded in the same internal model…

Nonmodular Architectures of Cognitive Systems based on Active Inference
• Computer Science
2019 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN)
• 2019
This work presents a minimal model of a sensorimotor loop implementing an architecture based on the separation principle, and demonstrates the robustness of this architecture to unknown external inputs and shows that the mechanism with which this is achieved in linear models is equivalent to integral control.
Emergence of Content-Agnostic Information Processing by a Robot Using Active Inference, Visual Attention, Working Memory, and Planning
• Psychology
Neural Computation
• 2021
Simulation results revealed that the observed generalization was achieved because content-agnostic information processing developed through synergistic interaction between the second VWM and other modules during the course of learning, in which memorizing image contents and transforming them are dissociated.
The dark room problem in predictive processing and active inference, a legacy of cognitivism?
Artificial Life Conference Proceedings
• 2019
The free energy principle describes cognitive functions such as perception, action, learning and attention in terms of surprisal minimisation. Under simplifying assumptions, agents are depicted as
Investigation of Multimodal and Agential Interactions in Human-Robot Imitation, based on frameworks of Predictive Coding and Active Inference
• Computer Science
ArXiv
• 2020
The study concludes that the strength with which complexity is regulated significantly affects the nature of dynamic interactions between different modalities and between individual agents in a social setting.
Deep active inference
It is shown that the deep active inference agent can learn a generative model of the environment, which can be sampled from to understand the agent’s beliefs about the environment and its interaction therewith.
Predictive Processing in Cognitive Robotics: A Review
• Psychology
Neural Computation
• 2021
Analysis of cognitive robotics research working under the predictive processing framework suggests that research in both cognitive robotics implementations and nonrobotic models needs to be extended to the study of how multiple exteroceptive modalities can be integrated into prediction error minimization schemes.
Active Inference in Robotics and Artificial Agents: Survey and Challenges
• Computer Science
ArXiv
• 2021
The state-of-the-art theory and implementations of active inference for state-estimation, control, planning and learning are reviewed; describing current achievements with a particular focus on robotics.
PID Control as a Process of Active Inference with Linear Generative Models †
• Biology
Entropy
• 2019
This work will show how PID controllers can fit a more general theory of life and cognition under the principle of (variational) free energy minimisation when using approximate linear generative models of the world.

Active inference through whiskers
• Biology

• 2021
The anticipatory control of whisking in rodents is characterized as an active inference process, and the components of active inference model can in principle map to the neurobiological circuits of rodent whisking.

Active inference, sensory attenuation and illusions

It is proposed that this Bayes optimal withdrawal of precise sensory evidence during movement is the cause of psychophysical sensory attenuation, which explains the force-matching illusion and reproduces empirical results almost exactly.
Action and behavior: a free-energy formulation
• Psychology

• 2010
The free-energy formulation may provide an alternative perspective on the motor control that places it in an intimate relationship with perception, and can explain why adaptive behavior emerges in biological agents and suggests a simple alternative to optimal control theory.

It is shown that if the precision depends on the states, one can explain many aspects of attention, including attentional bias or gating, competition for attentional resources, attentional capture and associated speed-accuracy trade-offs.
The Computational Anatomy of Psychosis
• Psychology

• 2013
It is suggested that both pervasive trait abnormalities and florid failures of inference in the psychotic state can be linked to factors controlling post-synaptic gain – such as NMDA receptor function and (dopaminergic) neuromodulation.
Predictive coding in the visual cortex: a functional interpretation of some extra-classical receptive-field effects.
• Biology, Psychology
• 1999
Results suggest that rather than being exclusively feedforward phenomena, nonclassical surround effects in the visual cortex may also result from cortico-cortical feedback as a consequence of the visual system using an efficient hierarchical strategy for encoding natural images.
