Scientists Develop Algorithm for More Reliable Processors in Data Centres
Researchers from HSE MIEM and Samara University have developed the LRF-3D algorithm to automatically bypass idle nodes in three-dimensional networks-on-chip. Thanks to its hierarchical architecture, the algorithm outperforms existing solutions in both speed and path accuracy, improving processor reliability for use in data centres, supercomputers, and AI computing. The source code and test results are publicly available.

Researchers Develop Method for Direct Generation of Regulatory DNA
Researchers at HSE University have developed a model for generating promoters and enhancers—DNA sequences that regulate gene activity. The model works directly with DNA nucleotides, without first transforming them into a continuous numerical representation. This solution could be useful for applications in synthetic biology and gene therapy. The study results were presented at the ICLR 2026 Workshop ‘Generative AI in Genomics (Gen^2): Barriers and Frontiers.’

Social Integration: At the Crossroads of Knowledge and Values
The International Laboratory for Social Integration Research (ILSIR) at HSE University studies the challenges faced by vulnerable groups and explores ways to help them participate fully in everyday life. To develop effective solutions, the laboratory’s researchers combine cutting-edge methods with practical fieldwork. In this interview with the HSE News Service, Laboratory Head Elena Iarskaia-Smirnova discusses the laboratory’s work.

Brain Basis of Meaning, Words, Constructions, and Grammar

Ch. 22. P. 397–416.
Pulvermuller F., Cappelle B., Shtyrov Y.

This chapter examines the neurophysiological plausibility of some of the claims of Construction Grammar with regard to syntactic structures. It suggests that evidence from neuroscience has highly important repercussions for linguistic theory building in general and argues that the constructionist enterprise receives considerable empirical support from neurolinguistic studies. The chapter examines views on the embodiment of grammar in neuronal circuitry and contends that neurological evidence indicates that it makes sense to postulate flexible constructional templates as distinct from lexical construction storage.

Grammar and the Influence of Society and Culture
Gladkova A., , in: The Encyclopedia of Applied Linguistics, 2nd ed.: Wiley-Blackwell, 2026.
This article treats grammar as inseparable from semantics and pragmatics. On the basis of existing studies, it demonstrates that it is possible to identify cultural information or meaning embedded in grammatical structures. Connections between grammar, culture, and society are studied in an emerging area of linguistics known as Ethnosyntax. The term “ethnosyntax” was coined by ...

Картография неведения: Мистицизм, психиатрия, нейронауки
Nosachev P., М.: Новое литературное обозрение, 2026.
Что такое мистический опыт и как его изучают? Где заканчивается религиозное переживание и начинается психиатрический диагноз? Могут ли нейронауки объяснить, что такое медитация и молитва? Подходя к теме с позиций критической культурологии, Павел Носачев в этой книге ставит под сомнение общепринятый инструментарий изучения религиозных переживаний. Он предлагает читателю три масштабных экскурса: историю становления научной категории ...

Neurodiverse AI
Vallverdú J., Alshanskaia E., BioNanoScience 2025 Vol. 15 Article 406
Artificial intelligence (AI) systems have predominantly mirrored neurotypical brain architectures (NBA), optimizing for efficiency, predictability, and standardized cognitive patterns. However, non-neurotypical brains (NNB) exhibit unique neurochemical, hormonal, and functional mechanisms that underpin divergent thinking, creativity, and alternative problem-solving strategies. Drawing from evolutionary biology, we emphasize how neurodiversity serves as a critical mechanism for adaptability, survival, ...

The article analyzes the existing naturalistic approach to the problem of free will. This approach identifies itself as “neurophilosophical”. It is argued that neuroscience is necessary to formulate an empirically grounded and conceptually complete notion of “free will”. It is shown that the neurophilosophical position on free will is inconsistent with theories that advocate both ...

God knows how it turns out: on three constructions including Bog ‘God’, čert ‘devil’ and some taboo words in the Russian language over the last three centuries
