      A genealogical map of the concept of habit 

      Barandiaran Fernández, Xabier Eugenio ORCID; Di Paolo, Ezequiel (Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014-07-21)
      The notion of information processing has dominated the study of the mind for over six decades. However, before the advent of cognitivism, one of the most prominent theoretical ideas was that of Habit. This is a concept ...

      A Minimal Model of Metabolism-Based Chemotaxis 

      Egbert, Matthew D.; Barandiaran Fernández, Xabier Eugenio ORCID; Di Paolo, Ezequiel (Public Library of Science, 2010-12-02)
      Since the pioneering work by Julius Adler in the 1960's, bacterial chemotaxis has been predominantly studied as metabolism-independent. All available simulation models of bacterial chemotaxis endorse this assumption. Recent ...

      A unifying framework for mean-field theories of asymmetric kinetic Ising systems 

      Aguilera Lizarraga, Miguel ORCID; Moosavi, S. Amin; Shimazaki, Hideaki (Nature, 2021-02-19)
      Kinetic Ising models are powerful tools for studying the non-equilibrium dynamics of complex systems. As their behavior is not tractable for large networks, many mean-field methods have been proposed for their analysis, ...

      Adaptation to criticality through organizational invariance in embodied agents 

      Aguilera Lizarraga, Miguel ORCID; González Bedia, Manuel (Nature Publishing, 2018-05-16)
      Many biological and cognitive systems do not operate deep within one or other regime of activity. Instead, they are poised at critical points located at phase transitions in their parameter space. The pervasiveness of ...

      Affective atmospheres and the enactive-ecological framework 

      García Otero, Enara (Taylor & Francis, 2023-06-28)
      The phenomenology of atmospheres is recently gaining attention in debates on situated affectivity. Atmospheres are defined as holistic affective qualities of situations that integrate disparate affective forces into an ...

      An enactive and dynamical systems theory account of dyadic relationships 

      Kyselo, Miriam; Tschacher, Wolfgang (Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014-05-30)
      Many social relationships are a locus of struggle and suffering, either at the individual or interactional level. In this paper we explore why this is the case and suggest a modeling approach for dyadic interactions and ...

      Anticipation and modal power: Opening up and closing down the momentum of sociotechnical systems 

      Urueña López, Sergio (Sage, 2022-08-06)
      Within STS, there are three approaches to the creation and mobilization of futures: descriptive, normative, and interventive. Visions, expectations, and imaginaries are currently seen as anticipatory artifacts that close ...

      Autopoiesis, Autonomy, and Organizational Biology: Critical Remarks on “Life After Ashby” 

      Bich, Leonardo; Arnellos, Argyris ORCID (Cybernetics & Human Knowing, 2012)
      In this paper we criticize the "Ashbyan interpretation" of autopoietic theory by showing that Ashby's framework and the autopoietic one are based on distinct, often incompatible, assumptions and they aim at addressing ...

      La biología sintética como desafío para comprender la autonomía de lo vivo 

      Murillo Sánchez, Sara; Ruiz Mirazo, Pedro (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, 2016)
      We here offer an alternative view of synthetic biology, quite distant from the engineering approaches that currently set the main research agenda of the field. Our analysis centres on those lines of work, both theoretical ...

      Complex emergence and the living organization: an epistemological framework for biology 

      Bich, Leonardo (Springer, 2010-02-27)
      In this article an epistemological framework is proposed in order to integrate the emergentist thought with systemic studies on biological autonomy, which are focused on the role of organization. Particular attention will ...

      Critical integration in neural and cognitive systems: Beyond power-law scaling as the hallmark of soft assembly 

      Aguilera Lizarraga, Miguel ORCID; Di Paolo, Ezequiel (Elsevier, 2021-04)
      Inspired by models of self-organized criticality, a family of measures quantifies long-range correlations in neural and behavioral activity in the form of self-similar (e.g., power-law scaled) patterns across a range of ...

      Emergent Chemical Behavior in Variable-Volume Protocells 

      Shirt-Ediss, Benjamin John; Solé, Ricard V.; Ruiz Mirazo, Pedro (MDPI, 2015-01-13)
      Artificial protocellular compartments and lipid vesicles have been used as model systems to understand the origins and requirements for early cells, as well as to design encapsulated reactors for biotechnology. One prominent ...

      ¿En qué sentido es relativista David Hume? 

      Arrieta Urtizberea, Agustín ORCID (Departamento de Filosofía, Universidad de Málaga, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, 2010)
      [ES]En este trabajo tratamos de esclarecer en qué sentido Hume es relativista con relación a la ética y a la estética. El sentimentalismo inherente a su ética y estética hace que, desde el punto de vista de algunos ...

      Enacting anticipatory heuristics: a tentative methodological proposal for steering responsible innovation 

      Urueña López, Sergio (Taylor and Francis / Routledge, 2023-01-24)
      Over the past decade, various normative frameworks that aim to promote more responsible governance of research and innovation in terms of better aligning with society's demands and expectations have emerged. Among the ...

      Exploring Criticality as a Generic Adaptive Mechanism 

      Aguilera Lizarraga, Miguel ORCID; González Bedia, Manuel (Frontiers Media, 2018-10-02)
      The activity of many biological and cognitive systems is not poised deep within a specific regime of activity. Instead, they operate near points of critical behavior located at the boundary between different phases. Certain ...
