Information Processing in Biological Systems

This volume presents frontier research in information processing related to a variety of biological systems, including small assemblies of neurons in the cortex and large-scale metabolic systems; the statistics, dynamics, and phase transitions of stochastic information processing; and the microscopic-macroscopic interface in biological information processing. Physical principles and proteinoid experiments are discussed regarding the emergence of life and information and cause. The final paper offers a design for a one-dimensional brain.
