Ethics in Gnomics

Con el actual poder de computo y la marcada tendencia a disminuir el costo (y tiempo) del secuenciamiento es interesante indagar en los aspectos éticos de la genomica. Estos aspectos tienen que ver con el almacenamiento de la data, la transferencia, propiedad, descubrimientos y consentimiento (entre varios más). Los siguientes son una serie de publicaciones …

More Complex Complexity:Exploring the Nature of Computational Irreducibility across Physical, Biological, and Human Social Systems

The predictability of many complex systems is limited by computational irreducibility, but we argue that the nature of computational irreducibility varies across physical, biological and human social systems. We suggest that the computational irreducibility of biological and social systems is distinguished from physical systems by functional contingency, biological evolution, and individual variation. In physical systems, …

Predicting the Brain Activation Pattern Associated With the Propositional Content of a Sentence: Modeling Neural Representations of Events and States

Abstract: Even though much has recently been learned about the neural representation of individualconcepts and categories, neuroimaging research is only beginning to reveal how more complexthoughts, such as event and state descriptions, are neurally represented. We present a predictive com-putational theory of the neural representations of individual events and states as they are described in240 …
