This brief review article brings together a series of related experiments in psychophysics and physiology that show striking similarities between measurements in human observers and in single neurons. We consider seven pairs of primary research articles, each pair consisting of one paper in physiology and one in psychophysics, and we highlight common features between receptive and perceptive fi...

Those who have comorbid conditions see themselves as much more disabled than those with a single substance use or psychiatric disorder; hence their over-representation in health services. However, as the preceding chapters have illustrated, they are usually in treatment for a single disorder, and the services are not enabled to tackle comorbidity.

Population axiology concerns how to evaluate populations in regard to their goodness, that is, how to order populations by the relations “is better than” and “is as good as”. This field has been riddled with “paradoxes” which seem to show that our considered beliefs are inconsistent in cases where the number of people and their welfare varies.

When looking at the original data analysis, we see a variety of approaches used to examine the discourse data of focus. The analysis is rich and includes a wide array of features. Conversely, the three single perspective analyses conducted for this Forum each drew upon different linguistic details to support their conclusions with different insights. It is important to consider how different ap...

This would imply that immaterial entities are not possible. In this paper, I attempt to subvert this materialist conclusion by giving two arguments against the key individuation principle it requires. I show that the locational individu...
