The team is growing - last month we welcomed our new PhD researcher Hilde Langengen Teigen. Hilde will explore the explanatory role and scope of the predictive processing framework by identifying self-assembly processes in the brain in relation to brain function. 🦋 www.hf.uio.no/ifikk/englis...

New #AssemblingLife article on the Metaphysics of Pregnancy now out on #PhilosophyCompass. Embryogenesis is often mentioned as a case of self-organisation and in mammals it is intrinsically linked to pregnancy, so this article explores how we can think about pregnancy in the first place. 🦋 #philsky
