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

Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could soon outperform classical computers on some complex computational problems. These computers rely on ...

What if our understanding of consciousness has been missing the point by trying to compare it to software? The debate on the ...

Topological quantum computation 1,2 is an approach to fault-tolerant quantum computation in which the unitary quantum gates result from the braiding of certain topological quantum objects called ...

Consciousness may emerge not from code, but from the way living brains physically compute.
