New publication on “active-inference” in neuroscience

A fresh perspective emerges in social neuroscience through the article "An Active-Inference Approach to Second-Person Neuroscience." Published in Perspectives on Psychological Science, the paper authored by Konrad Lehmann, Dimitris Bolis, Karl Friston, Leonhard Schilbach, Maxwell Ramstead, and Philipp Kanske, addresses the limitations of passive observation in understanding the neural processes underlying social interaction. This novel approach delves into the complexities of neural activation patterns during real-time social engagement, revealing distinctions in social cognition between interactions and observations. By employing the active-inference framework, the authors provide insights into the mechanisms driving social interaction, contributing to a deeper comprehension of this intricate phenomenon.
