Glycemia Regulation: From Feedback Loops to Organizational Closure
(Frontiers Media, 2020-02-18)
Endocrinologists apply the idea of feedback loops to explain how hormones regulate certain bodily functions such as glucose metabolism. In particular, feedback loops focus on the maintenance of the plasma concentrations ...
Interactive Models in Synthetic Biology: Exploring Biological and Cognitive Inter-Identities
(Frontiers Media, 2020-04-15)
The aim of this article is to investigate the relevance and implications of synthetic models for the study of the interactive dimension of minimal life and cognition, by taking into consideration how the use of artificial ...
Analysis of the Evolution and Collaboration Networks of Citizen Science Scientific Publications
(Springer, 2021-01)
The termcitizen sciencerefers to a broad set of practices developed in a growing number of areas of knowledge and characterized by the active citizen participation in some or several stages of the research process. ...
Picturing Organisms and Their Environments: Interaction, Transaction, and Constitution Loops
(Frontiers Media, 2020-07-30)
Changing conceptions of the relation between organisms and their environments make up a crucial chapter in the history of psychology. This may be approached by a comparative study of how schematic diagrams portray this ...
Biological altruism, eusociality and the superorganism: a critical analysis of the role of biological altruism within eusociality research.
(2020-03-12)
In this thesis I critically assess the role of the concept of biological altruism (BA) within eusociality research by assessing the following questions: 1) Is the concept of BA a correct description of the behaviour of the ...
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 ...
The co-constitution of technobodies' sex-gendered materiality: multiple trans* becomings.
(2020-07-24)
La presente Tesis Doctoral analiza la co-constitución orgánico-tecnológico-discursivo-material del sexogénero de los tecnocuerpos animales no humanos y sobre todo humanos. Somos tecnocuerpos en tanto que nuestros y más que ...
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 ...
