OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
This talk offers an overview of active inference – a set of methods in computational neuroscience – with a focus upon how it might be used to understand pathological neuronal computation in neurological disorders. The key themes of the talk include (1) the relationship between the brain’s internal model of its environment and the (synaptic) message passing architectures that support perceptual inference; (2) planning as inference, and changes in behaviour with changes in prior beliefs; and (3) the role of neuromodulatory transmitters in setting the precision (or confidence) of our internal models.
