Journal ArticleDOI
Active inference: A process theory
Karl J. Friston,Thomas H. B. FitzGerald,Francesco Rigoli,Philipp Schwartenbeck,Giovanni Pezzulo +4 more
TL;DR: The fact that a gradient descent appears to be a valid description of neuronal activity means that variational free energy is a Lyapunov function for neuronal dynamics, which therefore conform to Hamilton’s principle of least action.
Journal ArticleDOI
Active inference and epistemic value
Karl J. Friston,Francesco Rigoli,Dimitri Ognibene,Christoph Mathys,Thomas H. B. FitzGerald,Giovanni Pezzulo +5 more
TL;DR: A formal treatment of choice behavior based on the premise that agents minimize the expected free energy of future outcomes and ad hoc softmax parameters become the expected (Bayes-optimal) precision of beliefs about, or confidence in, policies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Active Inference, homeostatic regulation and adaptive behavioural control.
TL;DR: An Active Inference account of homeostatic regulation and behavioural control of Pavlovian, habitual and goal-directed behaviours explained with one scheme.
Journal ArticleDOI
Active inference and learning
Karl J. Friston,Thomas H. B. FitzGerald,Francesco Rigoli,Philipp Schwartenbeck,John P. O'Doherty,Giovanni Pezzulo +5 more
TL;DR: This work has shown that optimal behaviour is quintessentially belief based, and that habits are learned by observing one’s own goal directed behaviour and selected online during active inference.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hierarchical Active Inference: A Theory of Motivated Control
TL;DR: A novel perspective is offered that casts control and motivational processes as complementary aspects of active inference and hierarchical goal processing under deep generative models and proposes that the control hierarchy propagates prior preferences or goals, but their precision is informed by the motivational context.
