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 ...
Enactivism is not interactionism

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 ...
Establishing a sustainable nanogovernance in Argentina. Nanotechnology with and for society
(2016-02-04)
Nanoscience is the study of phenomena at the nanoscale, where materials have different properties from those presented in classical physics. In the daily work of laboratories, science and technology are integrated giving ...
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 ...
Deliberative Democracy and Complex Diversity. From Discourse Ethics to the Theory of Argumentation.
(2017-09-28)
Can democracy accommodate contemporary diverse and complex societies? Is deliberation an appropiate means for these ends? Even in the face of violent conflict? What is the role of citizens? The central objetive of this ...
Toward an embodied science of intersubjectivity: widening the scope of social understanding research
