The embodied, relational self: extending or rejecting the mind? by Gough, J

“…I examine whether this is so, by considering whether the identification of self and mind can be saved by recent views of the mind according to which it is partly constituted by aspects of the body other than the brain and by the world beyond the skin. I argue that it cannot, before considering what this means for the mind and its relationship to selves and persons.…”

The characterization of reflectin protonic conductivity by Reyes, Jacob

“…Cephalopods, such as the Sepioteuthis lessioniana (S. lessionia), possess the remarkable defensive mechanism of camouflage, seemingly altering incoming light and changing the colour of its skin to its surrounding environment. Research has revealed that this ability stems from the cephalopod’s iridophores, and, more importantly, reflectin protein nanoparticles that alter the dimension and structure of the overall ensemble of said iridophores. …”
