It is a vast subject, which is often treated with not enough rigor. Here computer science and mathematical logic can add rigor when some assumption are taken explicitly into account, like the computationalist hypothesis in the cognitive science. Most scientist believe that the belief in a primary physical universe is consistent with computationalism, but it is not. You will find more information on this in my URL.
