Scientists Create Open Dataset for Studying Concentration
A team of Russian researchers, including scientists from HSE University–St Petersburg, has developed the first open multimodal dataset containing recordings of brain activity, heart function, and video observations to help researchers understand what happens in the human brain during deep concentration. In the future, the dataset could accelerate the development of neural interfaces, rehabilitation technologies, and AI systems. The article has been published in Scientific Data.

‘Science Is Universal-It Knows No Borders
Fuad Aleskerov, Tenured Professor and Director of the International Centre of Decision Choice and Analysis at HSE University, together with his colleagues, has developed methods of network analysis in bibliometrics that have made it possible to identify patterns in the appearance and citation of publications in academic journals, as well as their influence on each other. When one or a number of studies are frequently cited by a wide range of journals, this is an indicator that the research is of high quality. By contrast, extensive cross-citation within a limited group of journals increases the likelihood of identifying a network of predatory publications.

Un « chien honnête » : l’humour grammatical de Wittgenstein et la problématique des mondes possibles

Ch. 4. P. 57–72.
Kaploun V.

The collective monograph, «Langage, pensée et esprit» ("Language, mind and spirit") published in French, presents the outcome of an international research project conducted during the years 2012-2015 by an international group of experts in contemporary philosophy of language and Wittgenstein scholars. The co-authors represent the following universities: University of Bergen, Norway; Université Paris-8 Vincennes Saint-Denis, France;  National Research University Higher School of Economics, Russia; and Université de Tunis. The monograph examines diverse aspects of L. Wittgenstein's philosophy of language that are of considerable importance for today's philosophy of mind and for contemporary social sciences. 

The chapter examines the concept of "social reality", viewed through Wittgenstein’s perspective of "possible worlds", and its importance for the epistemology of contemporary social sciences.

Реализм как ценность в работах Л. Витгенштейна и поздней философии Х. Патнэма
Pavlov I., М.: НИУ ВШЭ, 2015.
В данной работе рассматривается интерпретация реализма, предложенная современным американским философом Хилари Патнэмом. Согласно видению этого философа, эпистемологическая проблема реализма, которая обсуждалась в аналитической философии в XX веке, связана с проблемой ценности нашей жизни – так, реализм сам становится ценностью. В своих книгах Патнэм ссылается на Витгенштейна и говорит, что их понимание реализма одинаково. Данная работа ...
