Causal structure of networks of stochastic processes
We propose different approaches to infer causal influences between agents in a network using only observed time series. This includes graphical models to depict causal relationships in the network, algorithms to identify the graphs in different scenarios and when only a subset of agents are …

How to Be a Pragmatist in the End: Objectivity, Skepticism, and the Demands of Agency
… provided by possible experiences, and a realist-causal conception, on which they are provided by causal interaction with the mind-independent natural world. These conceptions dominate in different historical periods, marking the transition from classical pragmatism to neo-pragmatism. The …

Mechanistic and psychological explanations of behaviour: the problem of mental causation
… to the neurophysical going-on in our bodies causally to explain behaviour. This kind of explanation has become entrenched in a naturalistic attitude towards any phenomemon which requires causal explanation. This naturalistic attitude, furthermore, holds explanation by reference to natural …

Detecting and analyzing bursty events on Twitter
… by multiple sources in order to understand interactions between Twitter users and the role of exogenous events (not directly observable on Twitter) in driving tweets. The first stage of the system finds temporal clusters, or bursts of tweets. The second stage characterizes bursts along two …

Louis de la Forge on Mind-Body Interaction and the Case Against Occasionalism
… of dualism as well as mind-body union and interaction, all the while keeping to some form of the causal likeness principle. Each of these positions are ones that Descartes maintained throughout his writings. Yet, successors and scholars alike have noted the inconsistencies that arise from …

A Short Window Granger Causality Approach to Identify Brain Functional Pattern Associated with Changes of Performance Induced by Sleep Deprivation
… has demonstrated the directed inference interaction among pairs of brain areas, which may bring important insight to understand how brain works to support neurocognitive function. This research aimed to identify the brain effective connectivity pattern associated with changes of a task …

Domain-general control mechanisms underlying stopping of thought and action

New evidence of functional interactions within the hand motor system
… areas of the motor system and their functional interactions during the planning and execution of hand actions. In the present thesis, we adopted several methodologies (TMS, fMRI) and analysis approaches (univariate, MVPA, DCM), to explore the involvement of defined areas in specific motor tasks, …
