On the parameter estimation for diffusion models of single neuron's activities. I. Application to spontaneous activities of mesencephalic reticular formation cells in sleep and waking states.

abstract：:We have previously tried to explain perceptual inference and learning under a free-energy principle that pursues Helmholtz's agenda to understand the brain in terms of energy minimization. It is fairly easy to show that making inferences about the causes of sensory data can be cast as the minimization of a free-energy...
