More than synchrony: EEG chaoticity may be necessary for conscious brain functioning.

Transient phase synchronization of EEG oscillations was reported to be essential for conscious brain activity. However, it has been argued that EEG synchrony is not the only necessary factor, but at least must be accompanied by a sufficient complexity of brain dynamics. Here, we propose that, besides complexity, EEG chaoticity may be another necessary condition for conscious brain functioning.

Thinking may be more than computing.

The uncomputable parts of thinking (if there are any) can be studied in much the same spirit that Turing (1950) suggested for the study of its computable parts. We can develop precise accounts of cognitive processes that, although they involve more than computing, can still be modelled on the machines we call ‘computers’. In this paper, I want to suggest some ways that this might be done, using...
