论文摘要
考虑了一种在生物系统中实施变异贝叶斯推断的方法,在该方法下,系统的热力学自由能直接编码其变异自由能。在大脑的情况下,此假设对生成和识别密度的神经元编码有限,特别是需要随机人口代码。热力学和变分的自由能之间所产生的关系是在哲学和心理学同构的哲学和格式塔假设中的思维脑身份方面的预测。
An approach to implementing variational Bayesian inference in biological systems is considered, under which the thermodynamic free energy of a system directly encodes its variational free energy. In the case of the brain, this assumption places constraints on the neuronal encoding of generative and recognition densities, in particular requiring a stochastic population code. The resulting relationship between thermodynamic and variational free energies is prefigured in mind-brain identity theses in philosophy and in the Gestalt hypothesis of psychophysical isomorphism.
