This paper aims to integrate some key constructs in the cognitive neuroscience of cognitive
control and executive function by formalising the notion of cognitive (or mental) effort in …

The free energy principle and its corollary, the active inference framework, serve as
theoretical foundations in the domain of neuroscience, explaining the genesis of intelligent …

The active visual system comprises the visual cortices, cerebral attention networks, and
oculomotor system. While fascinating in its own right, it is also an important model for …

Foveation can be defined as the organic action of directing the gaze towards a visual region
of interest to acquire relevant information selectively. With the recent advent of event …

Although modern object detection and classification models achieve high accuracy, these
are typically constrained in advance on a fixed train set and are therefore not flexible to deal …

Decoding the semantic content of images is nowadays dominated by the use of deep
convolutional neural networks (DCNNs), However, their generalization capability is still …

Foveated vision is a trait shared by many animals, including humans, but its contribution to
visual function compared to species lacking it is still under question. This study suggests that …

We propose an embodied system that is based on the free energy principle (FEP) for
sensorimotor visual perception (SMVP). Although the FEP mathematically describes the rule …

Many animal species, such as humans, are characterized by a focused vision in which the
sensor capturing the light information has a higher resolution around the orientation of gaze …
