“How, therefore, we must ask, is it possible for us to distinguish the living from the lifeless if we can describe both conceptually by the motion of inorganic corpuscles?”—Karl Pearson (The Grammar of Science, 1892).

Are you interested in understanding how can use use artificial intelligence to get fMRI (M/EEG)-to-image reconstructions of internally generated experience (visual imagery/dreams)? Prof. Roberto Bottini is looking for an interested student on computational neuroscience. Applications is rolling basis.

This joint PhD project between the University of Groningen and Utrecht University explores how simple prebiotic systems could evolve reliable information transfer. Apply by June 10.

The International Workshop on Self-Organizing and Evolving Active Matter (carried out by the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems) aims at providing an overview and identifying novel principles of self-organization in active matter specifically driven by two distinct mechanisms, which are active motion and proliferation.

Since 2003, Marcello Barbieri has been suggesting that there are two distinct mechanisms of evolutionary change—evolution by natural selection, based on copying, and evolution by natural conventions, based on coding. Today I am going to briefly review his Code Biology, a branch of theoretical biology focused on the study of all codes of life, from the genetic code to the codes of culture.
