text: **Computational cognition**
  
  A functionalist view in cognitive science holds that the mind is an information processing system, and 
  that cognition and consciousness together are a form of computation. Cognition, distinct from 
  consciousness, is explained by neural computation in the computational theory of cognition. The 
  computational theory of mind asserts that not only cognition, but also phenomenal consciousness or 
  qualia, are computational. While the computation system is realized by neurons rather than electronics, in 
  theory it would be possible for artificial intelligence to be conscious.
