Twenty First Century computational neuroscience and Twenty First Century psychoanalysis have two very different ways of representing the mental life of the subject, each with its own merits and limitations. This paper performs a superimposition of Pe... Read More about Reference and affect: Abstraction in computation and the neurosciences.

A comparison of European eel Anguilla anguilla eDNA concentrations to fyke net catches in five Irish lakes (2020)
Journal Article
Weldon, L., O’Leary, C., Steer, M., Newton, L., Macdonald, H., & Sargeant, S. L. (2020). A comparison of European eel Anguilla anguilla eDNA concentrations to fyke net catches in five Irish lakes. Environmental DNA, 2(4), 587-600. https://doi.org/10.1002/edn3.91

The European eel, Anguilla anguilla, is classified as critically endangered by the IUCN. To protect what remains of the European eel population, accurate monitoring methods for this species are important. Environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques are gaini...

A non-contact impedimetric biosensing system for classification of toxins associated with cytotoxicity testing (2020)
Journal Article
Gasser, A., Eveness, J., Kiely, J., Attwood, D., & Luxton, R. (2020). A non-contact impedimetric biosensing system for classification of toxins associated with cytotoxicity testing. Bioelectrochemistry, 133, 107448. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bioelechem.2019.107448

© 2019 We report on a novel impedance spectroscopy measurement and data analysis technique for cytotoxicity testing. The technique combines non-contact measurement with real-time impedance data analysis based on the toxin dose dependency of the outpu...
