Brains, it has recently been argued, are essentially prediction machines. They are bundles
of cells that support perception and action by constantly attempting to match incoming …

Voluntary movement is a result of signals transmitted through a communication channel that
links the internal world in our minds to the physical world around us. Intention can be …

The Bayesian brain hypothesis provides an attractive unifying framework for perception,
cognition, and action. We argue that the framework can also usefully integrate interoception …

Why do brains have so many connections? The principles exposed by Andy Clark provide
answers to questions like this by appealing to the notion that brains distil causal regularities …

Information is a key concept in evolutionary biology. Information stored in a biological
organism's genome is used to generate the organism and to maintain and control it …

Clark appears to be moving toward epistemic internalism, which he once rightly rejected.
This results from a double over-interpretation of predictive coding's significance. First, Clark …

This article develops generalizations of empowerment to continuous states. Empowerment
is a recently introduced information-theoretic quantity motivated by hypotheses about the …

Expert ensemble musicians produce exquisitely coordinated sounds, but rehearsal is
typically required to do so. Ensemble coordination may thus be influenced by the degree to …

Interdependencies of stochastically interacting units are usually quantified by the Kullback-
Leibler divergence of a stationary joint probability distribution on the set of all configurations …

We propose, following Clark, that generative models also play a central role in the
perception and interpretation of linguistic signals. The data explanation approach provides a …
