Download or read book Proceedings of the International Conference on Advances in Nano Neuro Bio Quantum ICAN 2023 written by R. Somashekhar and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-12-18 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an open access book. We are pleased to announce our Springer International Conference on Advances in Nano-Neuro-Bio-Quantum (I-CAN – 2023) which will be a unique conference where we will connect Biological Function through Computational sciences to the world of integrated quantum physics, chemistry, biology, medicine and therapeutics. The quantum science is seeking insights in Bioinformatics through quantum computing which again is an interdisciplinary filed linking quantum physics, chemistry and biology with computer science. Quantum computers achieve unprecedented calculating capabilities by harnessing the bizarre properties of matter on the subatomic scale, where electrons exist as clouds of probability and pairs of entangled particles can interact instantaneously, irrespective of their distance apart. But how far are we from fully realizing this new class of computers? What are its prospects to advance the study of artificial intelligence? And, when, if ever, will psychological scientists be able to write programs that unlock some of the secrets of human cognition? For now, a daunting list of technological innovations stands in the way of answering these questions. We can, however, take a glimpse at the current frontier of quantum computing and consider the technological gaps that remain. This science along with traditional Indian sciences coupled with big data and bioinformatics aims to unfold the complex relationship between genotype and phenotype on a global (genome-wide) scale to different biological processes. Quantum neurobiology is a concept to which we are not yet fully accustomed to: it refers to a narrow field of the operation of quantum physics in the nervous system such as the emergence of higher cognitive functions like consciousness, memory, internal experiences, and the processes of choice and decision-making which are products of the warm-wet-noisy brain. According to quantum neurobiology, quantum physics is involved in biological processes, and consciousness, memory, internal experiences, and the processes of choice and decision-making, which are the products of the warm-wet-noisy brain, may be the result of the operations of quantum physics.

This book was released on 2014-11-22 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These transactions publish research in computer-based methods of computational collective intelligence (CCI) and their applications in a wide range of fields such as the semantic Web, social networks, and multi-agent systems. TCCI strives to cover new methodological, theoretical and practical aspects of CCI understood as the form of intelligence that emerges from the collaboration and competition of many individuals (artificial and/or natural). The application of multiple computational intelligence technologies, such as fuzzy systems, evolutionary computation, neural systems, consensus theory, etc., aims to support human and other collective intelligence and to create new forms of CCI in natural and/or artificial systems.
