A Cognitive Computation Fallacy? Cognition, Computations and Panpsychism

<22> This paper provides a new interaction-based refutation of the computational consciousness programme. Builds on many carefully-argued critiques of the Chinese Room Argument, several appearing in an Oxford University Press book edited by Bishop. Led to invitation to Royal Society workshop on “The Incomputable”, and debates with the Head of Neuro-informatics, Russian Academy of Sciences on Russian radio; Bishop also appeared on: Qatar Radio; Swedish TV; WNYC Radio; BBC Three Counties radio. Laid foundations for second half of a Templeton Foundation Award (US charity-supported competitive grants on “inter-disciplinary research about human purpose and ultimate reality”: two-stage peer-reviewed process).
