Computational Account

Computational accounts aim to explain cognitive processes and phenomena using computational models, seeking to understand how information is processed and represented in the brain and artificial systems. Current research focuses on modeling consciousness, metacognition, and learning, employing techniques like contrastive learning in computer vision and exploring the role of computational constraints in model size and robustness. These computational approaches offer valuable insights into the fundamental mechanisms underlying cognition, potentially leading to advancements in artificial intelligence and a deeper understanding of neurological and psychological processes.
