Active Inference and Reinforcement Learning

Noor: Why doesn't the increased plasticity happen when there's only one lesion? Because I've heard stories of someone losing something dramatic, literally losing a chunk of their brain. And then other parts of the brain kind of take over the functions that were lost. So in her models, she can show this plasticity difference with one lesion and two lesions. Nour: Would you explain how active inference is different to reinforcement learning? Noor: At a very high level, placement learning is all about optimizing the value of the state. In comparison, an active inference were optimizing beliefs about states or a beliefs about future states.
