Dieter de Grave

MS Psychology MA Philosophy
Psychoanalytical psychotherapist

Field of interest

Interface of neuroscience, theory of complexity and psychoanalysis, looking at psychosis.
The complex structure of schizophrenia is not a disease, not a disorder per
se, but a different complex biopsychosocial structure in its own right.

Franz-Günter Winkler

Scientific fields
- cognitive science, especially the so-called representation problem
- dynamical systems theory
- the hard problem of consciousness
- time, especially the passage of time
- interpretation of relativity theory

Statement of interest
What connects the above listed (seemingly very different) fields is a conceptual distinction between what I call inside and outside observation. This distinction, together with a deep integration of space and time, forms the basis of my "spacetime holism", which gives surprisingly simple answers to old unsolved questions.

Serge F. Timashev

 

 

 

Born in 1937 in Irbit, Sverdlovsk region, Russia.

Doctor of Science: Physics and Mathematics, Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics, M.Sc. in Physics

Scientific fields

Flicker-Noise Spectroscopy: What type of information is hidden within a chaotic signal? A new phenomenological approach - Flicker-Noise Spectroscopy based on introducing a new image of information was developed. FNS could be considered as a new informative technology for extracting information contained in chaotic signals by analysing dynamic correlations between various chaotic signals measured simultaneously.
