Thanks for creating this video, this makes active inference and the free energy principle much clearer, and also explains how the brain thinks to minimize perception and reality. The examples were great, and I understood it correctly; that we prefer to assume we are full (not hungry) vs hungry, so our tendency is to eat to minimize the error (free energy) between thinking we are full and being full, also when we think we will accomplish something we put more effort to accomplish it so that we don't have an error (free energy) between thinking we accomplished it and not doing it. The active inference is the actions to minimize the free energy. I also think this is why once people make up their mind about something, even if they are wrong they are very difficult to change their mind to what is correct.

Yeah, I think that's one way to view it! I'm working in reinforcement learning right now, so I kind of use it the other way around: the agents seek things they can't predict, so they can make better predictions in the future.

Damn this guy’s good! Thank you for creating/sharing!!

Thank you for watching! I've learned a lot since making this video, so I want to make another, but first I gotta publish a paper about it!

These are great videos! Super well done. Thanks for putting in the time and effort to share what you have invested time in learning!

Thank you for diving into the math, its starting to make more sense to me now. Squidscribed :D

Thanks for watching! I want to make another video about the FEP because I've learned a lot lately, but I have to publish a paper before I can talk about it like I want, so it might be a while, haha.

​@@Thinkstr haha good luck with publishing your paper. I am also publishing one - mine is about building convolutional-based brain decoders to understand the neural code. I make my highly parameterized model more interpretable using neuroscience-based inductive biases. I haven't used anything with the FEP (yet?) but that's why I wanted to understand the principle to see if I want to incoorporate it in to final chapter, so again thanks a lot for these videos. If you're ever interested in highly expressive neural decoders, let me know :)

man this videos are amazing!

“Who does the thinking”. You’re asking the right questions but you’ll have to go inwards to find out. No amount of thinking will help you comprehend the mind like no amount of swimming can help you comprehend the ocean. It’s pointless to try. You have to learn to sit still in the present. Try meditating whenever you got nothing else going on and see how it feels for you. I guarantee that’s where you’ll find your answers. Either that or insane dmt trips but i don’t recommend that 😂

I've done meditation in the past, but haven't lately. Maybe I should!

Thank you so much for your videos on the FEP! It's been two years now, what more have you learned and how did your interview for Okinawa go?

I've actually been implementing the FEP at OIST! I want to share what I've been working on, but first I gotta publish these results. Thanks for watching!

Mark Solms got me here. I think the function, the action gets lost in the math for me. I think my intuitive sense from Mark's explanation actually makes sense. But I still want to know what Friston is talking about. Thx though, You have done better than most I have come across. I hope your cellular automata worked out. I think the name "Free Energy" actually makes it harder to understand.

I also thought of him and how Affect as Signal fits into here, his Ideas on homeostasis together with the probabilities described here, I am just at the beginning, exciting stuff. I am looking forward to your next video Thinkstr!
