Free Energy Principles and Best Practice

The document discusses Karl Friston's work on the Free Energy Principle and its implications for understanding dynamic causal modeling, embodied cognition, and schizophrenia. It outlines six levels of human information processing, detailing their timescales and frequencies, and emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and narratives in cognitive function. Additionally, it includes links to various videos by Friston that elaborate on these concepts.

KARL FRISTON’S ESTIMATES OF 6 LEVELS OF HUMAN INFORMATION PROCESSING:
MEASURED IN DURATION IN MILLISECONDS (1 ms.=1/1000 SEC.) OR FREQUENCY IN HERTZ (CYCLES/SEC.)
1. Peripheral reflexes: enacted over a timescale of about 64 ms., 16 HZ.
2. Transcortical reflexes (and related phenomena like saccadic eye movements): unfolding on a timescale of
the perceptual moment (about 128 ms., 8 HZ).

3. Percepts (possibly associated with qualitative experience): unfolding in lower levels of the cortical and
subcortical hierarchy – subtending the cognitive moment (about 256 ms,. 4 HZ).

4. Concepts: corresponding to amodal or domain general expectations – that generate predictions in


multiple domain-specific or modality-specific subordinate hierarchical levels. The timescale here now enters
the range of (512 ms., 2 HZ to seconds); of the sort associated with delay period activity in the prefrontal
cortex and elsewhere.

5. Narratives: expectations at levels of the generative model that contextualize sequences of concepts and
may unfold over (minutes).

6. Self-awareness: appealing to high order constructs that embody a degree of self modeling by
contextualizing lower levels, such as the minimal selfhood necessary for embodied narratives and
interactions with the world including our body that lasts for (years).
