Uncertainty and cooperation: Analytical results and a simulated agent society (2006)
Journal Article
Andras, P., Lazarus, J., Roberts, G., & Lynden, S. J. (2006). Uncertainty and cooperation: Analytical results and a simulated agent society. Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation, 9(1),Uncertainty is an important factor that influences social evolution in natural and artificial environments. Here we distinguish between three aspects of uncertainty. Environmental uncertainty is the variance of resources in the environment, perceived...

The origins of life - the ‘protein interaction world’ hypothesis: protein interactions were the first form of self-reproducing life and nucleic acids evolved later as memory molecules (2005)
Journal Article
Andras, P., & Andras, C. (2005). The origins of life - the ‘protein interaction world’ hypothesis: protein interactions were the first form of self-reproducing life and nucleic acids evolved later as memory molecules. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mehy.20The ‘protein interaction world’ (PIW) hypothesis of the origins of life assumes that life emerged as a self-reproducing and expanding system of protein interactions. In mainstream molecular biology, ‘replication’ refers to the material copying of mol...

Critical Quarterly, 47(1-2), 30-39. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.0011-1562University and higher education comprising a multi-disciplinary training in abstract, systematic reasoning has a vital role in modernizing societies. Such an education seems to have broadly favourable results both in terms of the individual and of so...

Biological Cybernetics, 92, 452-460. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00422-005-0572-0Biological data suggests that activity patterns emerging in small- and large-scale neural systems may play an important role in performing the functions of the neural system, and in particular, neural computations. It is proposed in this paper that n... Read More about Pattern computation in neural communication systems.

QJM: An International Journal of Medicine, 98(1), 53-55. https://doi.org/10.1093/qjmed/hci003The continual and uninterrupted expansion of medical research funding is generally assumed to be a permanent feature of modern societies, but this expectation may turn out to be mistaken. Sciences tend to go through boom and bust phases. Twentieth ce... Read More about Medical research funding may have over-expanded and be due for collapse.
Neural activity pattern systems (2004)
Journal Article
Andras, P. (2005). Neural activity pattern systems. Neurocomputing, 65, 531-536. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neucom.2004.10.041Understanding how neural systems work needs appropriate models. Here we propose a model that describes neural systems in terms of abstract communication systems. We indicate how to apply the proposed framework to the analysis of real neural systems.
