MY ROLE? Not regarding myself as a proper scientist, I do not like to be on focus: I just pull far-flung ideas together (mainly in neuroscience). Therefore, I publish in rather different disciplines (medicine, biology, physics, math, philosophy and, above all, neuroscience) and Journals (also nuts in Nature, Science and New England Journal of Medicine).

MY FIELD? "empirically testable theoretical developments", in physics and biology (mostly brain).

MY METHOD? a "testable rationalism": experimental previsions arising from top-down, deductive mathematical approaches.

Here you are two short YouTube movies (less than one minute!) that elucidate my main ideas:

CHANGES IN CURVATURE REVERSE TIME (AND REMOVE INFINITY FROM PHYSICAL EQUATIONS)

Looking at their very interesting approach, we noticed that the Authors of this foremost paper used changes in curvature to invert the arrow of time (see their Figure 1, second and third panel, where they, almost continuously, modify the phase of the wave-function in every point). It is exactly the...

THE HOLOGRAPHIC PRINCIPLE: JUST AN EMPTY BLACK HOLE?

The holographic principle, first proposed by 't Hooft and Susskind, is inspired by Bekenstein's and Hawking's account of black hole thermodynamics, according to which the maximal entropy in any region scales with the radius squared, and not cubed. This means that the informational content of...

Potential approach towards a better comprehension of our "second brain", i.e., the myenteric plexus

Banino et al.'s approach paves the way also to a potential approach towards a better comprehension of our "second brain", i.e., the myenteric plexus. We know that enthorinal grid cells are placed in exagons and fire when a moving animal crosses their firing fields. If we examine flat mounts...
