Computational models of the “active self” and its disturbances in schizophrenia

The notion that self-disorders are at the root of emergence schizophrenia rather than a symptom disease, is getting more traction in cognitive sciences. This line with philosophical approaches consider an enactive self, constituted through action and interaction environment. We thereby analyze different definitions self evaluate various computational theories lending to these ideas. Bayesian predictive processing promising for modeling “active self”. their implementation challenges psychiatry developmental robotics. describe how why embodied robotic systems provide valuable tool assess, validate, simulate mechanisms self-disorders. Specifically, involving sensorimotor learning, prediction, self-other distinction, can be assessed artificial agents. link essential insights formation new avenues treatment psychiatric disorders.
