Untangling the Animacy Organization of Occipitotemporal Cortex.

The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience Jul 6, 2021
Some of the most impressive functional specializations in the human brain are found in the occipitotemporal cortex (OTC), where several areas exhibit selectivity for a small number of visual categories, such as faces and bodies, and spatially cluster...

Circular Causation, Circular Cognition: A Tour Around Some Common Confusions.

Artificial life Nov 7, 2019
Life and cognition are inherently circular dynamical processes, and people have difficulty understanding circular causation. I give case studies illustrating some resulting confusions, and propose that the problems may lie in failing to properly dist...

Intuitive Assessment of Mortality Based on Facial Characteristics: Behavioral, Electrocortical, and Machine Learning Analyses.

Explore (New York, N.Y.) Apr 26, 2018
Studies of various characteristics of the human face indicate that it contains a wealth of information about health status. Most studies involve objective measurement of facial features as correlated with historical health information. But some indiv...

Robustness in living organisms is homeostasis.

Seminars in immunology Dec 16, 2017
In order to survive and reproduce, living organisms must be robust, tolerate injuries and undergo repair. Robustness in living organisms compares to robustness in human inventions, such as buildings and machines, which have to withstand occasional da...

Why We Should Create Artificial Offspring: Meaning and the Collective Afterlife.

Science and engineering ethics Jul 3, 2017
This article argues that the creation of artificial offspring could make our lives more meaningful (i.e. satisfy more meaning-relevant conditions of value). By 'artificial offspring' I mean beings that we construct, with a mix of human and non-human-...

Synthetic transitions: towards a new synthesis.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences Aug 19, 2016
The evolution of life in our biosphere has been marked by several major innovations. Such major complexity shifts include the origin of cells, genetic codes or multicellularity to the emergence of non-genetic information, language or even consciousne...

What is information?

Philosophical transactions. Series A, Mathematical, physical, and engineering sciences Mar 13, 2016
Molecular biology is based on two great discoveries: the first is that genes carry hereditary information in the form of linear sequences of nucleotides; the second is that in protein synthesis a sequence of nucleotides is translated into a sequence ...
