This review motivates and synthesizes research efforts in neuroscience-inspired artificial intelligence biomimetic computing terms of mortal computation. Specifically, we characterize the notion mortality by recasting ideas biophysics, cybernetics, cognitive science a theoretical foundation for sentient behavior. We frame computation thesis through Markov blanket formalism circular causality entailed inference, learning, selection. The ensuing framework -- underwritten free energy principle could prove useful guiding construction unconventional connectionist computational systems, neuromorphic intelligence, chimeric agents, including organoids, which stand to revolutionize long-term future embodied, enactive cognition research.

The componential view of human emotion recognises that affective states comprise conscious, behavioural, physiological, neural and cognitive elements. Although many animals display bodily behavioural changes consistent with the occurrence similar to those seen in humans, question whether which species these are accompanied by conscious experiences remains controversial. Finding scientifically valid methods for investigating markers subjective component affect both humans is central developing a comparative understanding processes mechanisms its evolution distribution across taxonomic groups, our animal welfare, development models disorders. Here, contemporary evidence indicating potential processing reviewed, extending this search include processing. We do combining animal-focused approaches investigations components non-conscious emotional neuropsychological research into structure functions emotions.

Abstract Theories of consciousness and cognition that assume a neural substrate automatically regard phylogenetically basal, nonneural systems as nonconscious noncognitive. Here, we advance scale-free characterization regards basal systems, including synthetic constructs, not only informative about the structure function experience in more complex but also offering distinct advantages for experimental manipulation. Our “minimal physicalist” approach makes no assumptions beyond those quantum information theory, hence is applicable from molecular scale upwards. We show standard concepts integrated information, state broadcasting via small-world networks, hierarchical Bayesian inference emerge naturally this setting, common phenomena stigmergic memory, perceptual coarse-graining, attention switching follow directly thermodynamic requirements classical computation. self-representation lies at heart human autonoetic awareness can be traced far back as, serves same basic functions stress response bacteria other systems.

Abstract It has been twenty years since Clark and Chalmers published “The Extended Mind.” In the present article I review development of extended mind hypothesis across what some proponents have defined as three theoretical “waves.” From first‐wave theory, based on parity principle, to second‐wave complementarity, third wave, characterized an uneasy integration predictive processing enactivist dynamics, theorists faced solved a number problems along way. The fact that continues spark debate generate both new insights objections suggests it play productive role in contemporary philosophy mind.

Plants do not possess brains or neurons. However, they present astonishingly complex behaviors such as information acquisition, memory, learning, decision making, etc., which helps these sessile organisms deal with their ever-changing environments. As a consequence, have been proposed to be cognitive and intelligent, an idea is becoming increasingly accepted. how plant cognition could operate without nervous central system remains poorly understood new insights on this topic are urgently needed. According the Extended Cognition hypothesis, may also occur beyond limits of body, encompassing objects from environment. This was shown possible in humans spiders, who actively manipulate external environment extend capacity. Here, we propose that extended found plants partly explain complexity behavior. We suggest can abilities through root influence zone mycorrhizal fungi associate them. The possibility process involving different kingdoms exciting worthwhile exploring it provide key into origin evolution cognition.

SignificanceThe sense of hearing in all known animals relies on possessing auditory organs that are made up cellular tissues and constrained by body sizes. We show the orb-weaving spider is functionally outsourced to its extended phenotype, proteinaceous self-manufactured web, hence processes behavioral controllability. This finding opens new perspectives animal cognition hearing-the outsourcing supersizing function spiders. study calls for reinvestigation remarkable evolutionary ecology sensory spiders-one oldest land animals. The modality provides a unique model studying regenerative sensing presents design features inspiring novel acoustic flow detectors.
