Surprises in Theoretical Casimir Physics: Quantum Forces in Inhomogeneous Media (2015)
Book
Simpson, W. M. R. (2015). Surprises in Theoretical Casimir Physics: Quantum Forces in Inhomogeneous Media. Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-09315-4

This thesis considers the problem of determining Casimir-Lifshitz forces in inhomogeneous media. The ground-state energy of the electromagnetic field in a piston-geometry is discussed. When the cavity is empty, the Casimir pressure on the piston is f... Read More about Surprises in Theoretical Casimir Physics: Quantum Forces in Inhomogeneous Media.

Verbal hallucinations are often associated with pronounced feelings of anxiety, and it has also been suggested that anxiety somehow triggers them. In this paper, we offer a phenomenological or ‘personal-level’ account of how it does so. We show how a... Read More about How anxiety induces verbal hallucinations.

Physical Determinability (2015)
Journal Article
Gibb, S. (2015). Physical Determinability. Humana.mente, 29, 69-90

I defend a dualist model of psychophysical causal relevance, according to which mental events are not causes in the physical domain, but are causally relevant in this domain because they enable — or, in other words, provide the appropriate structure... Read More about Physical Determinability.

False Precision, Surprise and Improved Uncertainty Assessment (2015)
Journal Article
Parker, W., & Risbey, J. (2015). False Precision, Surprise and Improved Uncertainty Assessment. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 373(2055), Article 20140453. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsta.2014.0453

An uncertainty report describes the extent of an agent’s uncertainty about some matter. We identify two basic requirements for uncertainty reports, which we call faithfulness and completeness. We then discuss two pitfalls of uncertainty assessment th... Read More about False Precision, Surprise and Improved Uncertainty Assessment.
