A Computational Model for the Second-Order Adaptive Causal Relationships Between Anxiety, Stress and Physical Exercise
Mental disorders are more and more seen as based on complex networks of symptoms and predispositions that create the disorder as an emergent behaviour of the network’s dynamics. This paper aims to provide a co...

Simulating Mutual Support Networks of Human and Artificial Agents
In this paper, a multi-agent simulation model is presented to investigate the dynamics of ‘mutual-support networks’: online social networks consisting of both humans and artificial agents. Via such networks, h...

A Computational Network Model for the Effects of Certain Types of Dementia on Social Functioning
This paper introduces a temporal-causal network model that describes the recognition of emotions shown by others. The model can show both normal functioning and cases of dysfunctioning, such as can be the case...
