    Approaches to Information-Theoretic Analysis of Neural Activity.Jonathan D. Victor - 2006 - Biological Theory 1 (3):302-316.
    Understanding how neurons represent, process, and manipulate information is one of the main goals of neuroscience. These issues are fundamentally abstract, and information theory plays a key role in formalizing and addressing them. However, application of information theory to experimental data is fraught with many challenges. Meeting these challenges has led to a variety of innovative analytical techniques, with complementary domains of applicability, assumptions, and goals.

  2. Genetic susceptibility to a complex disease: the key role of functional redundancy.Gaëlle Debret, Camille Jung, Jean-Pierre Hugot, Leigh Pascoe, Jean-Marc Victor & Annick Lesne - 2011 - History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences 33 (4).
    Complex diseases involve both a genetic component and a response to environmental factors or lifestyle changes. Recently, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have succeeded in identifying hundreds of polymorphisms that are statistically associated with complex diseases. However, the association is usually weak and none of the associated allelic forms is either necessary or sufficient for the disease occurrence. We argue that this promotes a network view, centred on functional redundancy. We adapted reliability theory to the concerned sub-network, modelled as a parallel (...)

  3. El naturalismo trascendental del último Wittgenstein.VÍctor Krebs & João Victor Victor - 1996 - Ideas Y Valores 45:61-75.
    El Naturalismo Trascendental del Ultimo Wittgenstein The present article considers an internal tension in Wittgenstein's late philosophy. In what I call his 'naturalism', Wittgenstein circumscribes philosophical reflection to natural objects, to «making natural history». In his 'transcendentalism' he focuses on the «possibility of phenomena» and distinguishes philosophical method from the method of the natural sciences. I show that his 'transcendentalism' is present in his discussion of rules and prívate language, arguing for an interpretation in terms of a kantian type of (...)

    To Be or to Have Been Lucky, That Is the Question.Antony Lesage & Jean-Marc Victor - 2021 - Philosophies 6 (3):57.
    Is it possible to measure the dispersion of ex ante chances among people, be it gambling, health, or social opportunities? We explore this question and provide some tools, including a statistical test, to evidence the actual dispersion of ex ante chances in various areas, with a focus on chronic diseases. Using the principle of maximum entropy, we derive the distribution of the risk of becoming ill in the global population as well as in the population of affected people. We find (...)

    Présentation : « Comprendre ce qui ne passe pas dans ce qui passe ».Jacques de Saint Victor - 2011 - Cités 45 (1):131.
    Il peut paraître singulier, pour une revue trimestrielle, de vouloir analyser l’actualité politique, alors que celle-ci change au jour le jour. Mais, dans ce débit à jets continus, il est des événements, parfois des détails, qui sont plus importants que d’autres ; il est des actes ou des faits que les historiens retiendront comme ayant marqué un moment, voire même leur...
