• Title: Information-Theoretic Free Energy as Emotion Potential: Emotional Valence as a Function of Complexity and Novelty
• Authors: Hideyoshi Yanagisawa
• Abstract summary: We modeled arousal potential as information contents to be processed in the brain after sensory stimuli are perceived. We demonstrated empirical evidence with visual stimuli supporting the hypothesis that the summation of perceived novelty and complexity shapes the inverse U-shaped beauty function.

• Abstract: This study extends the mathematical model of emotion dimensions that we previously proposed (Yanagisawa, et al. 2019, Front Comput Neurosci) to consider perceived complexity as well as novelty, as a source of arousal potential. Berlyne's hedonic function of arousal potential (or the inverse U-shaped curve, the so-called Wundt curve) is assumed. We modeled the arousal potential as information contents to be processed in the brain after sensory stimuli are perceived (or recognized), which we termed sensory surprisal. We mathematically demonstrated that sensory surprisal represents free energy, and it is equivalent to a summation of information gain (or information from novelty) and perceived complexity (or information from complexity), which are the collative variables forming the arousal potential. We demonstrated empirical evidence with visual stimuli (profile shapes of butterfly) supporting the hypothesis that the summation of perceived novelty and complexity shapes the inverse U-shaped beauty function. We discussed the potential of free energy as a mathematical principle explaining emotion initiators.

We also propose a novel neuro-symbolic framework, Physical Concept Reasoner (PCR), that learns and reasons about both visible and hidden physical properties.

  In affective science, emotions are often represented as multi-dimensional. We propose to adopt a Circumplex Model of emotion by mapping emotions into a two-dimensional spectrum of valence and arousal. We show that the manipulation of priors and object presence results in commonsense variability in emotional states.

• Learn to integrate parts for whole through correlated neural variability [8.173681663544757]
  Sensory perception originates from the responses of sensory neurons, which react to a collection of sensory signals linked to physical attributes of a singular perceptual object. Unraveling how the brain extracts perceptual information from these neuronal responses is a pivotal challenge in both computational neuroscience and machine learning. We introduce a statistical mechanical theory, where perceptual information is first encoded in the correlated variability of sensory neurons and then reformatted into the firing rates of downstream neurons.

  Cortical prostheses are devices implanted in the visual cortex that attempt to restore lost vision by electrically stimulating neurons. Currently, the vision provided by these devices is limited, and accurately predicting the visual percepts resulting from stimulation is an open challenge. We propose to address this challenge by utilizing 'brain-like' convolutional neural networks (CNNs), which have emerged as promising models of the visual system.
