Information Processing, Computation, and Cognition [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2010 Computation and information processing are among the most fundamental notions in cognitive science. They are also among the most imprecisely discussed. Many cognitive scientists take it for granted that cognition involves computation, information processing, or both - although others disagree vehemently.

Phase field modelling of hopper crystal growth in alloys
Scientific Reports, 2023 Here we use phase field to model and simulate “hopper” crystals, so named because of their underlying cubic structure but with a hopper-like depression on each of the six faces.
