Federico’s website.
Federico’s papers we discuss:
- Conflicting emergences. Weak vs. strong emergence for the modelling of brain function
- From homeostasis to behavior: balanced activity in an exploration of embodied dynamic environmental-neural interaction
Free Energy Principle.
Integrated Information Theory.
The Tononi paper about Integrated Information Theory and its relation to emergence:
- Quantifying causal emergence shows that macro can beat micro
Default mode as large scale oscillation:
- The brain’s code and its canonical computational motifs. From sensory cortex to the default mode network: A multi-scale model of brain function in health and disease.
