Every task we perform on a computer—whether number crunching, watching a video, or typing out an article—requires different ...

Right now, the debate about consciousness often feels frozen between two entrenched positions. On one side sits computational ...

A new theoretical framework argues that the long-standing split between computational functionalism and biological naturalism misses how real brains actually compute.

The familiar fight between “mind as software” and “mind as biology” may be a false choice. This work proposes biological computationalism: the idea that brains compute, but not in the abstract, symbol ...

Computer scientist Lance Fortnow writes that by embracing the computations that surround us, we can begin to understand and tame our seemingly random world. Bohr: Algebra is like sheet music. The ...

The proposal that evolution could be used as a metaphor for problem solving came with the invention of the computer 1. In the 1970s and 1980s the principal idea was developed into different ...

A new paper written by a theoretical physicist at Howard University claims that aneural eukaryotic cells could process information up to a billion times faster than typical biochemical processes. This ...

The chip, which works with standard programming languages, could be particularly useful on phones, watches or other devices that rely on high-performance computing and have limited battery life. The ...

Computation in Architecture explores the critical consideration of contemporary modelling and fabrication technologies as a driver for thinking, forming and realising architecture. With a specific ...
