A unifying framework for mean-field theories of asymmetric kinetic Ising systems
(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, ...
Critical integration in neural and cognitive systems: Beyond power-law scaling as the hallmark of soft assembly
(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 ...
Scaling of sensory information in largeneural populations shows signatures ofinformation-limiting correlations
(Nature, 2021-01-20)
How is information distributed across large neuronal populations within a given brain area? Information may be distributed roughly evenly across neuronal populations, so that total information scales linearly with the ...
Enactivism is not interactionism
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2013-01)
Scientific theories as intervening representations
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2006)
In this paper some classical representational ideas of Hertz and Duhem are used to show how the di-chotomy between representation and intervention can be overcome. More precisely, scientific theories are reconstructed as ...
Toward an embodied science of intersubjectivity: widening the scope of social understanding research
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2015-02-02)
The interactive brain hypothesis
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2012-06)
Enactive approaches foreground the role of interpersonal interaction in explanations of social understanding. This motivates, in combination with a recent interest in neuroscientific studies involving actual interactions, ...
We can work it out: an enactive look at cooperation
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014-08-08)
The past years have seen an increasing debate on cooperation and its unique human character. Philosophers and psychologists have proposed that cooperative activities are characterized by shared goals to which participants ...
Pregnant Females as Historical Individuals: An Insight From the Philosophy of Evo-Devo
(Frontiers Media, 2021-01-20)
Criticisms of the "container" model of pregnancy picturing female and embryo as separate entities multiply in various philosophical and scientific contexts during the last decades. In this paper, we examine how this model ...
Emergent Chemical Behavior in Variable-Volume Protocells
(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 ...
