Neuroscience: What We Cannot Model, We Do Not Understand

To understand computations in neuronal circuits, a model of a small patch of cortex has been developed that can describe the firing regime in the visual system remarkably well.

Do We Know What We Do not Know? A Response to Celine Bonnet

Molecular approaches to diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis what we know and what we do not know.

Invasive aspergillosis (IA) are a major complication in immunocompromized patients where can be serious and rapidly fatal. Early diagnosis and early appropriate antifungal treatment is important in reducing mortality and morbidity. But despite many efforts to develop detection methods, the diagnosis of IA still remains challenging and current conventional methods are limited for adequate diagno...

Homeopathy: do not condemn what we do not understand.

Almeida’s ‘critical’ review of homeopathy is not based on systematic review of the evidence and is strongly biased against homeopathy. There have been three systematic reviews/meta-analyses of ‘general’ scope (ie including all clinical trials of homeopathy), published in peer-reviewed journals. All have yielded positive conclusions. Almeida conceals these conclusions by highly selective quotati...

What Do We Know, What Do We Understand?

In this talk I summarize the topics addressed during the conference. We have discussed the most relevant cosmological observations of the last say 10 years and their implications for our understanding of the Universe. My finding throughout this meeting has been that it is amazing how our knowledge of cosmological parameters has improved during the last years. It comes as a surprise to many, tha...
