Projects
A few research ideas explored in the past, actively investigated at the moment, or planned in the future. Biology, cognitive science and physics, using information theory, control theory and dynamical systems analysis.
A Bayesian Interpretation of the Internal Model Principle
How do we connect “internal models” in control to “Bayesian models” in cognitive science? Continue reading A Bayesian Interpretation of the Internal Model Principle
Disentangled representations for causal cognition
Can disentangled representations be used to explain how agents learn about causality? Continue reading Disentangled representations for causal cognition
Hybrid life
How can we best understand life and cognition? How can we combine the results of different technological advances with natural organisms? Continue reading Hybrid life
Agents and agency
How do we go from “simple physics” to agency? Continue reading Agents and agency
The Emperor’s New Markov Blankets
Do Markov blankets in the free energy principle demarkate minds and living systems? Continue reading The Emperor’s New Markov Blankets
What is uncertainty and how do agents deal with it?
How do we cope with uncertainty? How do we take a decision when we can’t know precisely what’s happening around us, for example, on a misty day? Continue reading What is uncertainty and how do agents deal with it?
