Active Inference with a Self-Prior in the Mirror-Mark Task

ArXi:2604.09673v1 Announce Type: cross The mirror self-recognition test evaluates whether a subject touches a mark on its own body that is visible only in a mirror, and is widely used as an indicator of self-awareness. In this study, we present a computational model in which this behavior emerges spontaneously through a single mechanism, the self-prior, without any external reward.
