Brains, it has recently been argued, are essentially prediction machines. They are bundles
of cells that support perception and action by constantly attempting to match incoming …

Robotics researchers increasingly agree that ideas from biology and self-organization can
strongly benefit the design of autonomous robots. Biological organisms have evolved to …

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 …

The Bayesian brain hypothesis provides an attractive unifying framework for perception,
cognition, and action. We argue that the framework can also usefully integrate interoception …

This position paper proposes that the study of embodied cognitive agents, such as
humanoid robots, can advance our understanding of the cognitive development of complex …

Why do brains have so many connections? The principles exposed by Andy Clark provide
answers to questions like this by appealing to the notion that brains distil causal regularities …

Clark appears to be moving toward epistemic internalism, which he once rightly rejected.
This results from a double over-interpretation of predictive coding's significance. First, Clark …

Much recent work stresses the role of embodiment and action in thought and reason, and
celebrates the power of transmitted cultural and environmental structures to transform the …

We propose, following Clark, that generative models also play a central role in the
perception and interpretation of linguistic signals. The data explanation approach provides a …

We suggest that the hierarchical predictive processing account detailed by Clark can be
usefully integrated with narrative psychology by situating personal narratives at the top of an …
