Conference: Nihat Ay, Carlotta Langer, and Jesse van Oostrum are organising the Working Group “The Active Self” at the Santa Fe Institute

In this working group we discuss the possibility of linking an embodied agent to phenomenal experience via its learning and action selection mechanism. How do sufficiently complex action selection mechanisms, such as active inference, impact an agent's intelligent behavior and conscious experience? The working group will be inspired by discussions and conclusions from the interdisciplinary Priority Program “The Active Self” (Project Number 2134) of the German Research Foundation.
