Robotics is increasingly seen as a useful test bed for computational models of the brain
functional architecture underlying animal behavior. We provide an overview of past and …

Until now, a satisfying account of the cause and purpose of migraine has remained elusive.
We explain migraine within the frameworks of allostasis (the situationally-flexible, forward …

Dominant motor control theories propose that the brain predicts and attenuates the
somatosensory consequences of actions, referred to as somatosensory attenuation. Support …

This study attempts to offer an alternative to the problem of implementing model predictive
controllers (MPC) in conditions where the timescale multiplicity of the process model is not …

Introduction The tactile sense plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of a
functional bodily self. The ability to differentiate between self-and nonself-generated touch …

Introduction Investigating the pathological mechanisms of developmental disorders is a
challenge because the symptoms are a result of complex and dynamic factors such as …

Vigorous research has been conducted to accumulate biological and theoretical knowledge
about neurodevelopmental disorders, including molecular, neural, computational, and …

Active inference describes (Bayes-optimal) behaviour as being motivated by the
minimisation of surprise of one's sensory observations, through the optimisation of a …

When one part of the body exerts force on another, the resulting tactile sensation is
perceived as weaker than when the same force is applied by an external agent. This …

Aberrant sense of agency (SoA, a feeling of control over one's own actions and their
subsequent events) has been considered key to understanding the pathology of …
