Fundamentals of Active Inference

A comprehensive, up-to-date introduction to active inference and the free energy principle for an engineering-focused audience. Active inference, which uses machine learning to model brain function and behavior, emerged from decades of cross-disciplinary research in computational neuroscience, resulting in a vast literature but no unifying treatment. Filling this gap, Sanjeev Namjoshi provides comprehensive coverage of the foundational material needed to understand and navigate this fast-moving
