Review | From extended phenotype to extended affordance: distributed language at the intersection of Gibson and Dawkins
During NERCCS 2025 I had the opportunity to meet Dennis P. Waters, a transdisciplinary thinker whose PhD was done under the direction of Howard Pattee. With Dennis I had the opportunity to talk about biosemiotics, relational biology and ecological psychology, conversations from which I learned a lot. Today I am going to review one of his papers, published more than ten years ago but with very interesting ideas.

Tilburg University | Two PhD positions for the neurocognition of the grammar of visual narratives
We are now searching for new PhD students who are interested in studying how people's brains understand sequences of images like in comics. If you like comics, cogneuro (EEG), and psycholinguistics (especially syntax/semantics) this is for you!
TU Dresden | Open PhD position in Computational Machinery of Cognition
Are you interested in developing reinforcement learning (RL) models to understand internal cognitive processes (in particular, perception and perceptual multistability)? There's a position at TU Dresden calling for you!
Review | The Nature of Organization in Living Systems
A year ago, Pedro Márquez-Zacarías gave a seminar at my university that inspired me to delve deeper into the ideas proposed by Robert Rosen. A month ago, he and his collaborators at the Santa Fe Institute have proposed a new relational biology framework to characterize how self-organizing living processes arise from more basic components. What are the main gaps in this model? Can we reconcile it with other relational models proposed in the last decade?
