the probabilistic structure of the world. While the computational benefits of using prior …

This review considers computational psychiatry from a particular viewpoint: namely, a
commitment to explaining psychopathology in terms of pathophysiology. It rests on the …

Decades of neurobiological research have disclosed the diverse manners in which the
response properties of neurons are dynamically modulated to support adaptive cognitive …

Fueled by developments in computational neuroscience, there has been increasing interest

We review a recent shift in conceptions of interoception and its relationship to hierarchical
inference in the brain. The notion of interoceptive inference means that bodily states are …

How is it that thoroughly physical material beings such as ourselves can think, dream, feel,
