We summarize in this article the experiments which have been performed to test the
theoretical findings in stochastic thermodynamics such as fluctuation theorem, Jarzynski …

Stochastic thermodynamics as reviewed here systematically provides a framework for
extending the notions of classical thermodynamics such as work, heat and entropy …

Cross phenomena, representing responses of a system to external stimuli, are ubiquitous
from quantum to macro scales. The Onsager theorem is often used to describe them, stating …

The reason we never observe violations of the second law of thermodynamics is a matter of
statistics: When very many degrees of freedom are involved, the odds are overwhelmingly …

Our aim is to propose a theory which goes beyond the classical formulation of
thermodynamics. This is achieved by enlarging the space of basic independent variables …

The theory of large deviations is concerned with the exponential decay of probabilities of
large fluctuations in random systems. These probabilities are important in many fields of …

During the 1980's there were many developments regarding the nonequilibrium statistical
mechanics of dense classical atomic fluids. These developments have had a major impact …

The variational principles called maximum entropy (MaxEnt) and maximum caliber
(MaxCal)<? format?> are reviewed. MaxEnt originated in the statistical physics of Boltzmann …

Is self-consciousness necessary for consciousness? The answer is yes. So there you have it—
the answer is yes. This was my response to a question I was asked to address in a recent …

If one formulates Helmholtz's ideas about perception in terms of modern-day theories one
arrives at a model of perceptual inference and learning that can explain a remarkable range …
