How Medicine Informs Informatics : Information is Asymmetry , Not
A concept of information as asymmetry in multiple dimensions is based on the demonstration that causal action, not hypothetical chance events, is a parsimonious explanation of novelty. The study of heartbeat variation revealed creative features in causal processes, namely greater novelty than random variation, decrease in entropy, temporal change in pattern, and progressive increase in variance...

Design/methodology/approach – Depending on the observer’s choice of the system boundaries, communication or structural coupling may be recognized. With the help of Bateson’s example he uses to explain his term of information the paper demonstrates how t...
متن کاملPharmacometabolomics Informs Viromics toward Precision Medicine
Nowadays, we are experiencing the big data era with the emerging challenge of single data interpretation. Although the advent of high-throughput technologies as well as chemo- and bio-informatics tools presents pan-omics data as the way forward to precision medicine, personalized health care and tailored-made therapeutics can be only envisaged when interindividual variability in response to/tox...
متن کاملHow mirror-touch informs theories of synesthesia.
Ward and Banissy provide an excellent overview of the state of mirror-touch research in order to advance this field. They present a comparison of two prominent theoretical approaches for understanding mirror-touch phenomena. According to the threshold theory, the phenomena arise as a result of a hyperactive mirror neuron system. According to the Self-Other Theory, they are due to disturbances i...
متن کاملPhilosophy plugged : How robotics informs ethics ∗
Designers of artificial moral agents (AMA’s) or ethical (ro-)bots will be informed by this book. However, it will also challenge moral philosophers and anyone involved in teaching ethics. Indeed, an alternative subtitle: “teaching ethicists right from wrong” would be quite appropriate. The book demonstrates quite convincingly that “you don’t really know how something works if you can’t build it...
