Ascriptional and 'genuine' autonomy
: Knowing that human judgment can be fallible, we propose to distinguish the subjective ascription of a property, such as autonomy, from the genuine fact that an entity is characte...

Autonomy: An information theoretic perspective
We present a tentative proposal for a quantitative measure of autonomy. This is something that, surprisingly, seems to be missing from the literature, even though autonomy is cons...

Using matrix of thresholding partial correlation coefficients to infer regulatory network
DNA arrays measure the expression levels for thousands of genes simultaneously under different conditions. These measurements reflect many aspects of the underlying biological pro...

On the role of emotion in biological and robotic autonomy
This paper reviews some of the differences between notions of biological and robotic autonomy, and how these differences have been reflected in discussions of embodiment, groundin...

Biological networks in metabolic P systems
The metabolic P algorithm is a procedure which determines, in a biochemically realistic way, the evolution of P systems representing biological phenomena. A new formulation of thi...

The manipulation of calcium oscillations by harnessing self-organisation
This paper investigates how self-organisation might be harnessed for the manipulation and control of calcium oscillations. Calcium signalling mechanisms are responsible for a numb...

The linearity of emergent spectro-temporal receptive fields in a model of auditory cortex
The responses of cortical neurons are often characterized by measuring their spectro-temporal receptive fields (strfs). The strf of a cell can be thought of as a representation of...

Reconstruction of DNA sequences using genetic algorithms and cellular automata: Towards mutation prediction?
Change of DNA sequence that fuels evolution is, to a certain extent, a deterministic process because mutagenesis does not occur in an absolutely random manner. So far, it has not ...
