The Complex Brain Hypothesis: Resolving the Entropy-Content Conundrum in Minimal Phenomenal Experience

Jonas Mago, Edmundo Lopez-Sola, Jakub Vohryzek +4

Minimal Phenomenal Experiences (MPEs) are states of consciousness in which wakefulness is preserved but phenomenal content is low or absent. The Entropic Brain Hypothesis (EBH) is…

Spectral Dynamic Causal Modelling: A Didactic Introduction and its Relationship with Functional Connectivity

Leonardo Novelli, Karl Friston, Adeel Razi

We present a didactic introduction to spectral Dynamic Causal Modelling (DCM), a Bayesian state-space modelling approach used to infer effective connectivity from non-invasive neur…

The inner screen model of consciousness: applying the free energy principle directly to the study of conscious experience

Maxwell J. D. Ramstead, Mahault Albarracin, Alex Kiefer +4

This paper presents a model of consciousness that follows directly from the free-energy principle (FEP). We first rehearse the classical and quantum formulations of the FEP. In par…

Control flow in active inference systems

Chris Fields, Filippo Fabrocini, Karl Friston +4

Living systems face both environmental complexity and limited access to free-energy resources. Survival under these conditions requires a control system that can activate, or deplo…

Modelling cortical network dynamics

Gerald K. Cooray, Richard E. Rosch, Karl J. Friston

We consider the theoretical constraints on interactions between coupled cortical columns. Each column comprises a set of neural populations, where each population is modelled as a…

Bistable perception, precision and neuromodulation

Filip Novicky, Thomas Parr, Karl Friston +2

Bistable perception follows from observing a static, ambiguous, (visual) stimulus with two possible interpretations. Here, we present an active (Bayesian) inference account of bist…
