    An electrocardiogram (ECG) represents the electrical activity of the heart and can be used to investigate cardiac health. Routinely, subtle changes in the ECG’s P-QRS-T wave are employed to depict a particular type of cardiac abnormality. Herein, we have used heart rate (derived from ECG) as the base signal for our analysis, to demonstrate how effectively we can differentiate cardiac

    Mathematics is about knowing. Mathematical knowledge is a record of knowing just as
    sentences, besides being descriptions of the things to which they refer to, exemplify
    rules of composition. The functorial calculus of acquiring mathematical knowledge
    resembles cognition, which involves physical stimuli, neural sensations, mental
    concepts, and conscious experience. Herein we build, on the foundational similarity
    between cognition and mathematics, a model of cognition. Using category theory we
    explicated the functorial calculus of going from given particulars to measurements of
    the given particulars, to conceptualization of the particulars based on their measured
    properties, to interpretations of the thus formed theories, and resulting in knowledge.
    This simple model system can be used to systematically address fundamental
    questions of cognitive science such as 'how do we know?' More immediately, our
    results argue against the contemporary compartmentalization of scientific knowledge
    and ordinary cognition.
