LPN Decoded

We propose new algorithms with small memory consumption for the Learning Parity with Noise (LPN) problem, both classically and quantumly. Our goal is to predict the hardness of LPN depending on both parameters, its dimension k and its noise rate τ , as accurately as possible both in theory and practice. Therefore, we analyze our algorithms asymptotically, run experiments on medium size paramete...

Quantum Coherence in Microtubules: a Neural Basis for Emergent Consciousness?

The paper begins with a general introduction to the nature of human consciousness and outlines several different philosophical approaches. A critique of traditional reductionist and dualist positions is offered and it is suggested that consciousness should be viewed as an emergent property of physical systems. However, although consciousness has its origin in distributed brain processes it has ...

Mental States as Emergent Properties From Walking to Consciousness

In this article we propose a bottom-up approach to higher-level mental states, such as emotions, attention, intention, volition, or consciousness. The idea behind this bottom-up approach is that higher-level properties may arise as emergent properties, i.e., occur without requiring explicit implementation of the phenomenon under examination. Using a neural architecture that shows the abilities ...

Buruli toxin genes decoded.

T he ancient scourges of leprosy and tuberculosis are diseases caused by mycobacteria. These afflictions remain widespread in much of the world. It is estimated that one-third of Earth’s population is infected with tuberculosis, and 2 million die of the active form of the disease annually. Tuberculosis claims the greatest number of victims of any infectious disease and has reawakened public hea...
