The problem of connection of observer’s mind with quantum-mechanical description of physical reality

open access: yesВестник Мининского университета, 2019
Introduction: the study considers the problem of observer’s status during specific quantum-mechanical experiments, in which the empirical result directly depends on the participation of the experimenter's mind.

When is a prediction anthropic? Fred Hoyle and the 7.65 MeV carbon resonance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The case of Fred Hoyle’s prediction of a resonance state in carbon-12, unknown in 1953 when it was predicted, is often mentioned as an example of anthropic prediction.

Prospecting the protein design landscape

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review outlines the current state of various protein design approaches. We discuss the current possibilities enabled by recently released tools, highlight future avenues to pursue in protein design, and underscore the crucial role of key databases and resources for successful protein design workflows.

On the Singularity of Cosmological Observers

open access: yesФилософия и космология
The Anthropic Principle (AP) has been used to constrain cosmological models by conditioning them on the existence of observers. However, its ability to make strong predictions often depends on additional assumptions, such as the existence of a reference ...

Anthropic Reasoning and the Contemporary Design Argument in Astrophysics: A Reply to Robert Klee [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
In a recent study of astrophysical “fine-tunings” (or “coincidences”), Robert Klee critically assesses the support that such astrophysical evidence might be thought to lend to the design argument (i.e., the argument that our universe has been designed by

What can functional transcranial Doppler ultrasonography reveal about the cerebral lateralization of writing

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Which brain hemisphere controls writing? This review synthesizes all five functional transcranial Doppler studies of writing (handwriting and typing) published to date in adults and children. Right‐handers show left‐hemispheric dominance for the linguistic component of writing (written word generation), whereas findings for left‐handers remain ...

A Critique of Cosmological Natural Selection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Mathematical physicist Lee Smolin has proposed a theory of Cosmological natural selection which, he argues, explains the existence of our life-supporting universe, and which, he claims, is superior to Anthropic Principle explanations.

MagmaFlow: A desktop platform for artificial intelligence‐driven expression analysis

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
MagmaFlow is a free, no‐code platform for gene expression analysis. It generates interactive volcano plots, links genes to literature, pathways, and diseases, prioritizes candidates using millions of publications, identifies affected biological processes, builds network diagrams, and exports publication‐ready figures and reports for macOS and Windows ...

A Bayesian General Theory of Anthropic Reasoning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A non-ad hoc, general theory of anthropic reasoning can be constructed based on Bostrom's Strong Self-Sampling Assumption (SSSA) that we should reason as if the current moment of our life were a randomly selected member of some appropriate reference ...

Design and evaluation of FEBS Education and Training Academy module – Integrating generative artificial intelligence into life‐science education

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Life‐science educators from 14 countries redesigned their own course materials with generative AI in a three‐session, pedagogy‐first FEBS Education and Training Academy workshop built on PICRAT. Among 12 matched respondents, four more reported high confidence in each of five practical domains, and 10 of 13 reported implementing at least one idea ...
