(Mis)Computation in Computational Psychiatry

Abstract

An adequate explication of miscomputation should do justice to the practices involved in the computational sciences. As elevant practices outside computer science have so far been overlooked, I begin to fill this gap by distinguishing different notions of miscomputation in computational psychiatry. I argue that a satisfactory explication ofmiscomputation in computational psychiatry should essentially appeal to semantic properties that characterise the interaction between a target computing system and its environment. Any account of physical computation that does not appeal to semantics for explicating miscomputation in psychiatric illness is inadequate.
