The Resilience of Computationalism - Philsci
... Neural processes are temporally constrained in real time, whereas computations are not; hence, neural processes are not computations (cf. Globus 1992, van Gelder 1998). This objection trades on an ambiguity between mathematical representation of time and real time. True, computations are temporally ...

Constructivist Framework for Understanding Pain
... Many neurophysiological researchers still see pain as fundamentally sensory in nature, even though people in pain manifest strong negative emotions to a much greater degree than sensations. They hold that emotions can arise in one of two ways. Either the “realization” (entry into consciousness) of n ...

Causal networks as the backbone for temporal data-to-text
