The terrifying plunge of a JetBlue flight bound for New Jersey has revived a question that sounds like science fiction but is ...

This correspondence between brain state and brain responsiveness (statedependent responses) is outlined at different scales from the cellular and circuit level, to the mesoscale and macroscale level.

Harris began by dissecting a fundamental disconnect between modern financial theory and actual market behaviour. While most risk models are built on linear assumptions and normally distributed returns ...
