Top-down causation by information control: from a philosophical problem to a scientific research programme.

TL;DR: In this article, the concepts of information control and functional equivalence classes in biological systems are rigorously defined and used to characterize when top-down causation by feedback control happens, in a way that is testable.

Effect of self-produced locomotion on infant postural compensation to optic flow.
