Open AccessCerebellar state estimation enables resilient coupling across behavioural domains
Cerebellar computations are necessary for fine behavioural control and may rely on internal models for estimation of behaviourally relevant states. Here, we propose that the central cerebellar function is to e...

Open AccessBrain information processing capacity modeling
Neurophysiological measurements suggest that human information processing is evinced by neuronal activity. However, the quantitative relationship between the activity of a brain region and its information proc...

Open AccessActive inference under visuo-proprioceptive conflict: Simulation and empirical results
It has been suggested that the brain controls hand movements via internal models that rely on visual and proprioceptive cues about the state of the hand. In active inference formulations of such models, the re...

Open AccessIntroducing a Bayesian model of selective attention based on active inference
Information gathering comprises actions whose (sensory) consequences resolve uncertainty (i.e., are salient). In other words, actions that solicit salient information cause the greatest shift in beliefs (i.e.,...

Open AccessThe emergence of synchrony in networks of mutually inferring neurons
This paper considers the emergence of a generalised synchrony in ensembles of coupled self-organising systems, such as neurons. We start from the premise that any self-organising system complies with the free ...

Open AccessUsing resting-state DMN effective connectivity to characterize the neurofunctional architecture of empathy
Neuroimaging studies in social neuroscience have largely relied on functional connectivity (FC) methods to characterize the functional integration between different brain regions. However, these methods have l...

Open AccessIn vitro neural networks minimise variational free energy
In this work, we address the neuronal encoding problem from a Bayesian perspective. Specifically, we ask whether neuronal responses in an in vitro neuronal network are consistent with ideal Bayesian observer resp...

Open AccessUncovering the underlying mechanisms and whole-brain dynamics of deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson’s disease is a highly effective treatment in controlling otherwise debilitating symptoms. Yet the underlying brain mechanisms are currently not well understood. Whole...

Open AccessCorrection: Corrigendum: Perceptual learning to discriminate the intensity and spatial location of nociceptive stimuli
Scientific Reports 6: Article number: 39104; published online: 20 December 2016; updated: 07 March 2017. The original version of this Article contained an error in the spelling of the author Karina Dolgilevica...

Open AccessPerceptual learning to discriminate the intensity and spatial location of nociceptive stimuli
Accurate discrimination of the intensity and spatial location of nociceptive stimuli is essential to guide appropriate behaviour. The ability to discriminate the attributes of sensory stimuli is continuously r...

Open AccessEvidence for surprise minimization over value maximization in choice behavior
Classical economic models are predicated on the idea that the ultimate aim of choice is to maximize utility or reward. In contrast, an alternative perspective highlights the fact that adaptive behavior require...

A multimodal language region in the ventral visual pathway
Reading words and naming pictures involves the association of visual stimuli with phonological and semantic knowledge. Damage to a region of the brain in the left basal posterior temporal lobe (BA37), which is...
