Cracks in the Computational Foundations

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract / Description of output

The main thesis of the paper is that the computational paradigm can explain neither consciousness nor representational content, and hence cannot explain the mind as it standardly conceived. Computational procedures are not constitutive of mind, and thus cannot play the foundational role they are often ascribed in AI and cognitive science. However, it is possible that a computational description of the brain may provide a scientifically fruitful level of analysis which links consciousness and representational content with physical processes.
