View source for Jakob Hohwy

'''Jakob Hohwy''' is an Australian philosopher of mind and cognitive science, known for his work on the [[Free Energy Principle|free energy principle]] and predictive processing. His 2013 book ''The Predictive Mind'' argues that perception, action, and cognition can be understood as Bayesian inference processes that minimize prediction error.

Hohwy's work bridges philosophy, neuroscience, and machine learning, offering a representationalist interpretation of the free energy principle that contrasts with more enactive or embodied readings. He has explored the implications of predictive processing for mental illness, social cognition, and the nature of the self.
