K_1_03 — Free Energy Principle and Predictive Processing

The Free Energy Principle (FEP), developed by neuroscientist Karl Friston (2006-present), is one of the most ambitious theoretical frameworks in 21st-century science: it attempts to explain the EXISTENCE, BEHAVIOR, and C

K_1_06 — Predictive Processing and Consciousness

Predictive processing (PP) is a unifying framework in cognitive neuroscience proposing that the brain is fundamentally a prediction machine — it continuously generates top-down predictions of incoming sensory input and u

K_2_03 — Neural Correlates of Consciousness

The neural correlates of consciousness (NCC) are the minimal neuronal mechanisms jointly sufficient for any one specific conscious experience. The systematic search for NCCs was launched by Francis Crick and Christof Koc

K_2_11 — Default Mode Network: Brain at Rest and Self-Referential Consciousness

The Default Mode Network (DMN) is a large-scale brain network that is most active when a person is not focused on the external environment — during mind-wandering, daydreaming, self-referential thought, autobiographical

K_5_13 — Integrated World Models: Bayesian Brain and Consciousness

The Bayesian brain hypothesis proposes that the brain is fundamentally a prediction machine — it constructs and maintains internal generative models of the world (including the body), uses these models to generate predic
