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

Consciousness has long resisted neat explanations, but a growing body of research suggests the problem may lie in how we ...

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

Dr. Tom McClelland argues that there is no reliable way to know whether AI is conscious, and that this uncertainty may never ...

Researchers have developed a new algorithm that can accurately track a patient's level of consciousness, easing strain on clinicians and enabling new treatments. Visit a neurological ICU during a ...

Here are 18 studies and reports from the month of June regarding the use of artificial intelligence in medicine, beginning with the most recent: 1. Researchers from New York City's Columbia University ...

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 ...

These are good times to be a thinking, conscious creature, despite events in the world that might make us doubt that. These are even better times to be a creature who thinks about consciousness: the ...

It happens as often as 16% of our conscious lives: the mind simply goes blank. There is nothing inside, no verbal thinking, ...
