A sensorimotor account of vision and visual consciousness-Authors' Response-Acting out our sensory experience

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose that the brain produces an internal representation of the world, and the activation of this internal representation is assumed to give rise to the experience of seeing, but it leaves unexplained how the existence of such a detailed internal representation might produce visual consciousness.

Plans and the Structure of Behavior

TL;DR: Miller, Galanter, and Pribram as discussed by the authors discuss the difference between the brain and its vast number of parallel channels, but few operations, and the modern high-speed computer with its few channels and vast numbers of operations.

The theory of constructed emotion: an active inference account of interoception and categorization.

TL;DR: This article begins with the structure and function of the brain, and from there deduce what the biological basis of emotions might be, and concludes that the answer is a brain-based, computational account called the theory of constructed emotion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Active inference: A process theory

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.

Interoception and Mental Health: A Roadmap

TL;DR: An overview of the emerging consensus generated by the first Interoception Summit is presented, with the goal of accelerating progress in understanding the role of interoception in mental health.

Reinforcement Learning: An Introduction

TL;DR: This book provides a clear and simple account of the key ideas and algorithms of reinforcement learning, which ranges from the history of the field's intellectual foundations to the most recent developments and applications.

An integrative theory of prefrontal cortex function

TL;DR: It is proposed that cognitive control stems from the active maintenance of patterns of activity in the prefrontal cortex that represent goals and the means to achieve them, which provide bias signals to other brain structures whose net effect is to guide the flow of activity along neural pathways that establish the proper mappings between inputs, internal states, and outputs needed to perform a given task.

Technical Note : \cal Q -Learning

TL;DR: This paper presents and proves in detail a convergence theorem forQ-learning based on that outlined in Watkins (1989), showing that Q-learning converges to the optimum action-values with probability 1 so long as all actions are repeatedly sampled in all states and the action- values are represented discretely.

A Neural Substrate of Prediction and Reward

TL;DR: Findings in this work indicate that dopaminergic neurons in the primate whose fluctuating output apparently signals changes or errors in the predictions of future salient and rewarding events can be understood through quantitative theories of adaptive optimizing control.

Conflict monitoring and cognitive control.

TL;DR: Two computational modeling studies are reported, serving to articulate the conflict monitoring hypothesis and examine its implications, including a feedback loop connecting conflict monitoring to cognitive control, and a number of important behavioral phenomena.
