A brief history of the multiverse

open access: yes, 2017
The theory of the inflationary multiverse changes the way we think about our place in the world. According to its most popular version, our world may consist of infinitely many exponentially large parts, exhibiting different sets of low-energy laws of ...

Precision Imaging for Intraindividual Investigation of the Reward Response

open access: yesHuman Brain Mapping, Volume 47, Issue 5, 1 April 2026.
We present open data for an intensively sampled precision imaging study including multiple reward‐related tasks and a behavioral mood manipulation. Our initial analysis found low test–retest reliability of the reward response, indicating limited power for between‐person associations, but that state‐like factors explained substantial intraindividual ...

Zen and the Art of Space-Time Manufacturing

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
We present a general discussion about the so-called emergent properties and discuss whether space-time and gravity can be regarded as emergent features of underlying more fundamental structures.

The Dynamics of Reading Genre Fiction: Researching and Teaching Interpretive Practices

open access: yesReading Research Quarterly, Volume 61, Issue 2, April/May/June 2026.
Conceptual model positioning genre fiction as a site for studying how narrative form organizes reader interpretation, identifying four dynamics—iterability, narrative interest, serialization, and spectacle—to guide empirical research on reading processes.

From partisans to individuals: Lowering an opinion's diagnosticity via counterstereotypes can reduce categorization based on that opinion

open access: yesPolitical Psychology, Volume 47, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Research has shown that individuals often infer political categories like Republican, Democrat, conservative, or liberal from behavioral cues. In polarized contexts, where political outgroups are evaluated very negatively, these political categorizations may lead to negative outcomes and exacerbate polarization.

Quantum Cosmology in the Light of Quantum Mechanics

open access: yesGalaxies, 2019
There is a formal analogy between the evolution of the universe, when it is seen as a trajectory in the minisuperspace, and the worldline followed by a test particle in a curved spacetime.

Dark matter and dark energy proposals: maintaining cosmology as a true science?

open access: yes, 2008
I consider the relation of explanations for the observed data to testability in the following contexts: observational and experimental detection of dark matter; observational and experimental detection of dark energy or a cosmological constant $\Lambda$;

Heartbeat‐Evoked Responses in M/EEG: A Systematic Review of Methods With Suggestions for Analysis and Reporting

open access: yesPsychophysiology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Heartbeat‐evoked responses (HER), as measured by electroencephalography (EEG) or magnetoencephalography (MEG), represent neural activity time‐locked to heartbeats and are widely used as a marker of cardiac interoception in the study of brain–body interactions.

Critical Reviews of Causal Patch Measure over the Multiverse

open access: yes, 2009
In this talk, the causal patch measure based on black hole complementarity is critically reviewed. By noticing the similarities between the causal structure of an inflationary dS space and that of a black hole, we have considered the complementarity ...

Early Parenting and Infant–Parent Attachment: Developmental Origins of Psychotic Experiences

open access: yesBrain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study suggests that the role of disorganized infant–parent attachment in the risk of psychotic experiences of children from the general population might be smaller than expected. Instead, results suggest that adverse caregiving behaviors related to harsh and maltreating parenting very early in development may predict psychotic experiences in ...
