The advent of powerful perturbation tools, such as optogenetics, has created new frontiers
for probing causal dependencies in neural and behavioral states. These approaches have …

Sequential sampling models have provided a dominant theoretical framework guiding
computational and neurophysiological investigations of perceptual decision-making. While …

This article describes a process theory based on active inference and belief propagation.
Starting from the premise that all neuronal processing (and action selection) can be …

This paper considers functional integration in the brain from a computational perspective.
We ask what sort of neuronal message passing is mandated by active inference—and what …

Trained monkeys performed a two-choice perceptual decision-making task in which they
reported the perceived orientation of a dynamic Glass pattern, before and after unilateral …

Lateral intraparietal (LIP) neurons represent formation of perceptual decisions involving eye
movements. In circuit models for these decisions, neural ensembles that encode actions …

This paper describes an active inference scheme for visual searches and the perceptual
synthesis entailed by scene construction. Active inference assumes that perception and …

Posterior parietal cortex (PPC) activity correlates with monkeys' decisions during visual
discrimination and categorization tasks. However, recent work has questioned whether …

This paper presents a biologically plausible generative model and inference scheme that is
capable of simulating communication between synthetic subjects who talk to each other …

Recent theoretical models suggest that deciding about actions and executing them are not
implemented by completely distinct neural mechanisms but are instead two modes of an …
