The authors propose “biological computationalism,” the idea that neural computation is inseparable from the brain’s physical, hybrid, and energy-constrained dynamics rather than an abstract algorithm running on hardware. In this view, discrete neural events and continuous physical processes form a tightly coupled system that cannot be reduced to symbolic information processing. ]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/consciousness-computing-ai-30068/feed/ 2 114438 https://neurosciencenews.com/ai-brain-fear-30044/ Fri, 12 Dec 2025 18:54:57 +0000 https://neurosciencenews.com/?p=114346 Researchers have developed an AI-driven brain model that can track fear as it unfolds in real-world situations, offering a major shift from traditional lab-based approaches. Classic fear studies often rely on static images, but these do not reflect how the brain processes fear in dynamic contexts. ]]> 114346
