A fascinating hypothesis is that human and animal intelligence could be explained by a few
principles (rather than an encyclopaedic list of heuristics). If that hypothesis was correct, we …

We review the central tenets and neuroanatomical basis of the global neuronal workspace
(GNW) hypothesis, which attempts to account for the main scientific observations regarding …

In this article, we aim to provide a literature review of different formulations and approaches
to continual reinforcement learning (RL), also known as lifelong or non-stationary RL. We …

Evolution is a blind fitting process by which organisms become adapted to their
environment. Does the brain use similar brute-force fitting processes to learn how to …

The processes underwriting the acquisition of culture remain unclear. How are shared
habits, norms, and expectations learned and maintained with precision and reliability across …

Naturalistic experimental paradigms in neuroimaging arose from a pressure to test the
validity of models we derive from highly-controlled experiments in real-world contexts. In …

This paper offers an active inference account of choice behaviour and learning. It focuses on
the distinction between goal-directed and habitual behaviour and how they contextualise …

Motivated control refers to the coordination of behaviour to achieve affectively valenced
outcomes or goals. The study of motivated control traditionally assumes a distinction …

This article proposes that biologically plausible theories of behavior can be constructed by
following a method of “phylogenetic refinement,” whereby they are progressively elaborated …

The human brain is a complex, adaptive system comprised of billions of cells with trillions of
connections. The interactions between the elements of the system oppose this seemingly …
