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.

Scientists Propose Method for More Efficient Resource Use in Machine Learning
An international group of researchers, including mathematicians from the AI and Digital Science Institute at the HSE Faculty of Computer Science, has provided a theoretical justification for a simple and computationally efficient method of estimating uncertainty in Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD). The paper has been published on the scientific preprint server arXiv.org and presented at AISTATS 2026.

The study is devoted to the humans and artificial intelligence (AI) interaction. The authors view this interaction as mediated by interfaces that both simplify it and hide the real mechanisms of encoding and decoding messages (according to Shannon). In such a situation, the characteristics of the actor of communication are blurred, and it is not ...

Логики сознания
Vasyukov V. L., Вестник Ивановского государственного университета. Серия: Гуманитарные науки 2022 № 3 С. 151–158
The author focuses on the question of the possibility of using a network approach to study thinking provoked by studies of the structure of the brain (neural networks). The use of logical calculus as a network (conclusions as graph edges) is proposed. It is fixed that if we consider the so-called post-systems as these calculi, ...

Discussions about the nature of consciousness are mainly conducted within the framework of three hypotheses: (1) consciousness is an independent reality that is not connected with matter by cause-and-effect relationships — dualism, (2) consciousness is something derived from material substance — physicalism, and (3) matter and consciousness are modes of something third — neutral monism. ...

Логики самосознания
Vasyukov V. L., Вестник Ивановского государственного университета. Серия: Гуманитарные науки 2024 № 4 С. 134–142
Using the method of combining logical systems, it is possible to describe the work of consciousness by means of logical systems — combinations of various kinds of connections of mental states and causal connections of neuronal states (psychophysical problem). For a pair of such “logics” it is always possible to find a “combined” logical system whose properties ...

Воля как мышление или эмоция? Попытка феноменологического пересмотра
Kirsberg I. V., Вопросы философии 2024 № 11 С. 17–26
The article denotes the possibility of understanding the will as a violent emotion – rejecting ordinary phenomenological-psychological understanding of the will as an intentional-correlative thoughtful-like structure. In the will there is no mechanism of forming aims as a representation or an unconscious target – neither is purposefulness nor correlativity between the aim and its direction, as a well as mechanism ...

This paper considers the role of the category of the possible in four contexts. In the anthropological context the idea of the possible is viewed as a specific feature of human psychology, unlike the minds of other living species.

The concept of “free action” was introduced by L.S. Vygotsky to explain the driving forces of mental development. Using the method of reconstruction, we determined that the trinity of awareness (awareness — logicality — arbitrariness) in each mental function is transformed in the process of development into the trinity of reflection — motive — will, ...
