#Simplification in the #History & #Philosophy of #Neuroscience
» when we try to understand something complex, like the brain, using models, and math, and analogies, for example - we should keep in mind these are all ways of simplifying and abstracting away details to give us something we actually can understand.
...
necessary to do the science and limit the interpretation we can claim from our results «

From:
» what we called 'standard hypothesis'..
Emotional stimuli are process initially, via a dedicated modular system that operates rapidly, automatically, in the sense of without attention, and largely independently of conscious awareness, and that defects..
..so this is not just a curiosity for researchers in the lab, it has enormous impact in in society.. «

In honor of our recent thread on whether thought or feeling can be inferred from #FMRI data (and HT to @tdverstynen), I made a #neuromeme (#neurobuzz):
-
@NicoleCRust @debivort @MolemanPeter @knutson_brain @kordinglab @dsmith @tdverstynen Right, so contextual constraints as causes just goes one important step further. The emergent properties that are hard to predict also meaningfully constrain the relationships/interactions between the individual components. Neurons are constrained by their neighbors, which are constrained by other brain areas, which are constrained by the brain as a whole, which are constrained by other people's brains, etc. These are all top-down constraints that can cause the "lower" components to behave in ways that would not be possible otherwise and would lack meaning without relation to the whole. If you define cause as efficient cause only, that's OK, and these can be labeled constraints. But I view them as equally causal.
And I'd formally model this myself but I know my limits ;)
I encourage you to check out Juarrero's book, even first 30 pages or so makes the point clear. Or listen to her on #braininspired for a summary.

”the inability to form conceptual abstraction —and to make abstraction-driven analogies— is a primary source of brittleness and unreliability in #sota #AI”
”I think the the problem that AI has faced at least up till recently is that it has relied on #statistical associations rather than forming concepts”

Another #BrainInspired Cool Episode conversing @WiringtheBrain new book:
» what I’ve done in the book is sketch what I think is just really a framework for thinking about those things
...
that an organism could have causal power in and of itself and could could have control and could exercise choice.
...
even after having written this book, this question of choice is the one that still just niggles at me and «

@elduvelle_neuro I agree with @beneuroscience @kofanchen and @alicia_izquierdo here. One very broad way to look at it could be the classic nature (genes, evolution --> #neuroethology) vs nurture (environment, epigenetics --> behavioral #neuroscience)?
To slightly rephrase what others have stated - #neurothology studies the mechanisms that the brain has evolved to function in its natural conditions. If I were to draw a venn diagram for this, there could be/is an intersection between the 2 sets (behavioral neuroscience and neuroethology) but they are 2 different sets. There's #EfficientCoding based on response to natural statistics of the animal's environment that I think lies at the intersection. While there may be a behavioral response to a stimulus in the lab, it doesn't mean that the stimulus even exists in the statistics of the animal's natural environment.
In a lab, you can rewire the auditory cortex of a ferret's brain and they can start "seeing" with their auditory cortex but it doesn't mean that in a "normal" animal's brain that's what happens.

https://www.nytimes.com/2000/04/25/science/rewired-ferrets-overturn-theories-of-brain-growth.html
https://web.mit.edu/surlab/publications/Newton_Sur04.pdfI think of it this way -- there could be several mechanisms to achieve the same output (behavior) in a lab setting but that doesn't mean that the brain actually uses any or all of those mechanisms in its natural environment. Heck, even in the natural environment the brain could (and very likely does) exhibit #degeneracy where distinct structural units could give rise to the same function (behavior) under different circumstances.

@dlevenstein @CogCompNeuro also adding #neuroscience and #neurobuzz for wider sampling in the polls. Maybe consider editing the OP to add those hashtags?

In preparation for our #CCN2023 @CogCompNeuro GAC next week, I’m going to do some polls here this week to take the temperature of the room. 🌡️
Very curious to see the range of answers so please pass it on 🔁🙏 and feel free to elaborate - we'll try to take any discussion into account at the workshop

@AllenNeuroLab
Hi Tim, I know what you mean and I think the main reason is that most of the Neuro community that was on Twitter has not migrated here. The conversations that we used to have cannot really happen if the people who drove them aren’t here. That’s why I’m trying to get more people to join because I’d love to have that back! e.g. #JoinMastodonDay which is today :)That being said, there are a lot of cool convos happening and I’d recommend the following to not miss them:
use relevant hashtags when you write a post, this is how you’ll find the post later, and how others can find your posts
follow hashtags that interest you, regularly check them out (also check the new #NeuroBuzz one, and tag cool convos with it)
set notifications on at the profile page of people that you really don’t want to miss the posts of (consider that everything in Masto is chronological which doesn’t fit well with different time zones from different countries)
check the local timeline of neuro-oriented instances to find posts to interact with (unfortunately ours is non-public, but check out https://synapse.cafe/public/local or https://fediscience.org/public/local or https://scicomm.xyz/public/local)
follow people, a lot of people, and as you follow more people try to categorize them into lists
you could also move to our instance (https://neuromatch.social) because it’s the best, yes I’m biased :)
make sure to write Alt-text whenever you use images (some people will not boost non-alt-texted posts in support of visually-impaired people)
I’ll add below a post where I’ve listed a bunch of active people in #Neuroscience (and also some others)… it would be great if we could all contribute to it!
I guess the main message is: we have to put some effort into it, because unlike other websites, here WE make the algorithm; but it is worth it!
