Biologists Discover 'Molecular Fingerprint' of Preeclampsia
Researchers at HSE University employed a new method to model hypoxia in placental cells during pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia and identified molecular markers of tissue hypoxia. Since hypoxia is one of the key mechanisms underlying preeclampsia, these findings are important for a more accurate and timely diagnosis of the disease and for the development of effective treatment methods. The paper has been published in Placenta.

‘Speech, Facial Expressions, and Gestures Cannot Lie
Would you like to know whether a speaker’s trembling voice or an accidental gesture can give them away? At HSE University in Nizhny Novgorod, researchers are developing an algorithm that analyses speech, facial expressions, and gestures, and determines whether information is truthful with 92% accuracy. The project has applications ranging from forensic examination and bank recruitment to fundamental research. Anna Khomenko, head of the research group and Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Language and Brain at the HSE Faculty of Humanities in Nizhny Novgorod, explains how students and researchers are working together to create a corpus of video recordings, train a classifier, and prepare to introduce computer vision technology.

The Metaphysician Who Didn’t Know That He Was Dreaming: Kant and the Spirit-Seers

P. 867–874.
Heßbrüggen-Walter, Stefan

The chapter discusses Kant's Dreams of a Spirit-Seer. It defends the thesis that in this work Kant discusses not one, but three different versions of a ‘metaphysics of spirits’. All of them are mutually incompatible. I propose to weaken the impact of these problems by identifying a second target of Kant’s scorn in Dreams – a metaphysical position Kant could be sympathetic with as far as its
fundamental intentions are concerned, but that draws his ire because of an equally comprehensive failure in the realisation of these intentions. This target is Georg Friedrich Meier who published the second edition of his metaphysics in 1765, one year before the publication of Dreams.

П.Ф. Стросон - один из самый известных кантианских философов и интерпретаторов «Критики чистого разума». Предлагается реконструкция этой интерпретации, а также анализируется ее история и место в рамках стросоновской философии. Я показываю, какими образом Стросон читает текст, каким стратегиям интерпретации следует и с какими проблемами сталкивается. В книгах «Индивиды» и «Границы смысла» Стросон ассоциирует себя с ...

Что значит для математики давать реальные определения своих понятий?

В этом выступлении я приведу реконструкцию теории определения Канта. Кант утверждает, что математика дает реальные определения. Это означает, что эти определения показывают возможность вещи. Я предоставлю анализ понятия Канта о возможности и продемонстрирую значение теории величин Канта для его теории математических определений. ...

The aim is to develop some new alternatives for a phenomenalistic reading of Kant. Although the concern is ultimately with empirically real objects, I begin with a reading of the Aesthetic and the notion of appearances as at least possibly of empirically real objects. Employing Husserlian terminology, I take these to be the “noematic correlate” ...

Consciousness as Inner Sensation: Crusius and Kant
Indregard Jonas Jervell, ERGO-AN OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF PHILOSOPHY 2018 Vol. 5 No. 7 P. 173–201
What is it that makes a mental state conscious? Recent commentators have proposed that for Kant, consciousness results from differentiation: A mental state is conscious insofar as it is distinguished, by means of our conceptual capacities, from other states or things. I argue instead that Kant’s conception of state consciousness is sensory: A mental state ...

Self-Affection and Pure Intuition in Kant
Indregard Jonas Jervell, Australasian Journal of Philosophy 2017 Vol. 95 No. 4 P. 627–643
Are the pure intuitions of space and time, for Kant, dependent upon the understanding's activity? This paper defends the recently popular Self-Affection Thesis (SAT): namely, that the pure intuitions require an activity of self-affection—an influence of the understanding on the inner sense. Two systematic objections to this thesis have been raised: The Independence objection claims ...

Kant's Causal Power Argument against Empirical Affection
Indregard Jonas Jervell, Kantian Review 2017 Vol. 22 No. 1 P. 27–51
A well-known trilemma faces the interpretation of Kant’s theory of affection, namely whether the objects that affect us are empirical, noumenal or both. I argue that, according to Kant, the things that affect us and cause representations in us are not empirical objects. I articulate what I call the Causal Power Argument, according to which ...
