We process and integrate multiple timescales into one meaningful whole. Recent evidence
suggests that the brain displays a complex multiscale temporal organization. Different …

Active inference is a normative principle underwriting perception, action, planning, decision-
making and learning in biological or artificial agents. From its inception, its associated …

The first comprehensive treatment of active inference, an integrative perspective on brain,
cognition, and behavior used across multiple disciplines. Active inference is a way of …

The processes underwriting the acquisition of culture remain unclear. How are shared
habits, norms, and expectations learned and maintained with precision and reliability across …

Active inference is an approach to understanding behaviour that rests upon the idea that the
brain uses an internal generative model to predict incoming sensory data. The fit between …

The free energy principle, and its corollary active inference, constitute a bio-inspired theory
that assumes biological agents act to remain in a restricted set of preferred states of the …

How do humans come to acquire shared expectations about how they ought to behave in
distinct normalized social settings? This paper offers a normative framework to answer this …

Current concepts of sensory processing in the cerebral cortex emphasize serial extraction
and recombination of features in hierarchically structured feed-forward networks in order to …

This article considers the evolution of brain architectures for predictive processing. We argue
that brain mechanisms for predictive perception and action are not late evolutionary …

This paper concerns the distributed intelligence or federated inference that emerges under
belief-sharing among agents who share a common world—and world model. Imagine, for …
