The Hierarchical Organisation of Cortical and Basal-Ganglia Systems: A Computationally-Informed Review and Integrated Hypothesis (2013, neutral): “…into the dorsal and ventral neural pathways; (b) the role of the prefrontal cortex as a source of top-down biasing that instructs the neural competitions between potential alternative actions at the level of the premotor cortex (Cisek, 2007; Cisek and Kalaska, 2010; Miller and Cohen, 2001).”
Active inference and epistemic value (2015, neutral): “, 2004; Pessiglione, Seymour, Flandin, Dolan, & Frith, 2006), epistemic value (Fiorillo, Tobler, & Schultz, 2003; Redgrave & Gurney, 2006; Bromberg-Martin & Hikosaka, 2009), and affordance (Cisek, 2007; Gurney, Prescott, & Redgrave, 2001; see also Nepora & Gurney, 2012).”
Active interoceptive inference and the emotional brain (2016, background): “This contextual aspect of predictive coding has been associated with attentional gain control in sensory processing (41, 49) and has been discussed in terms of affordance in the setting of action selection (50-52).”
Inductive biases for deep learning of higher-level cognition (2020, background): “A human-centric version of this viewpoint is the psychological theory of affordances (Gibson, 1977; Cisek, 2007; Pezzulo and Cisek, 2016) that can be linked to predictive state representations in reinforcement learning: what can we do with an object? What are the consequences of these actions? Learn”
Ecological-Enactive Cognition as engaging with a field of relevant affordances (2018, background): “…recent years, changes in body and brain gained a lot of attention in research on what is called ‘the anticipating brain’ (see e.g. Friston 2010, 2011; Allen and Friston, 2016; Allen and Gallagher 2016; Kiebel, Daunizeau, and Friston 2008; Cisek 2007; Cisek and Kalaska 2010; Pezzulo and Cisek 2016).”
Intention, action planning, and decision making in parietal-frontal circuits. (2009, methodology): “Thus, target selection and movement preparation may involve the same brain circuits and are performed in an integrated manner as diagrammed in Figure 3B (Shadlen and Newsome, 2001; Fagg and Arbib, 1998; Cisek, 2006, 2007; Wang, 2008;)”
Neural mechanisms for interacting with a world full of action choices. (2010, background): “The information for visually-based action selection can also come from the ventral visual stream (Cisek 2007, Kalaska et al. 1998, Passingham & Toni 2001, Sakagami & Pan 2007), where cells are sensitive to object identity (Pasupathy & Connor 2002, Sugase et al. 1999, Tanaka et al. 1991) and…”
TRoPICALS: a computational embodied neuroscience model of compatibility effects. (2010, methodology): “Cisek (2007) proposes that such competition is based on a biasing effect produced by the prefrontal cortex (see second principle) and basal ganglia.”
Navigating the Affordance Landscape: Feedback Control as a Process Model of Behavior and Cognition. (2016, neutral): “Hierarchical Affordance Competition The affordance competition hypothesis [13,18,32] suggests that during interactive behavior, the brain simultaneously specifies the set of desirable actions currently available in its environment (‘affordances’), and decides what to do through a competition between”
Dopamine, Affordance and Active Inference (2012, background): “In this sense, it mediates the affordance of cues that elicit motor behaviour [2]; in much the same way that attention mediates the salience of cues in the perceptual domain.”
Hierarchical Active Inference: A Theory of Motivated Control (2018, background): “In relation to control, it differentiates sensorimotor control (choosing among current affordances [13]) from cognitive or executive control (the temporal coordination of thoughts or actions related to internal goals [14]).”
The anatomy of choice: active inference and agency (2013, background): “This is the second key role of precision; namely, to modulate the selection of competing representations of future action: cf. (Cisek, 2007; Frank et al., 2007; Jocham et al., 2012).”
