#Neuroscience as a field is relatively fragmented
..
We propose leveraging shared #neurodata repositories and #compneurosci modelling frameworks to benchmark methodologies, facilitating a more coherent integration of findings across #neuro subfields.Additionally, we advocate for the creation of a structured “map” of neuroscience, charting relationships between domains to enhance conceptual clarity.

» However, I will argue at various points in this book that failure to attend to the differences, to disanalogies between living things and artificial devices, has been a mistake.

The brain of a genetically modified lab rat is no more like a computer than the brain of a wild rat, regardless of the part played by humans in the animal’s creation. «#TheBrainAbstracted

This just out-of-the-presses paper by Uljana Feest seems relevant to the stuff we've been discussing about context and ontology in cognitive neuroscience and psychology, and the Juarrero book (although it doesn't seem to engage with it).

» Although the stated aim of the book is not to reform #neuroscience or offer advice to #neuroscientists
but rather to interpret their work,
I have not always kept myself within the bounds of description of scientific practice.The prescriptive voice—on the folly of overestimating our comprehension of nature in itself, in its full complexity—does frequently come out. «

» more theoretical thinking and less (unthinking) #ml or less confusion between #machinelearning and theory
Then #AI can be a useful theoretical tool...
The thesis of #computationalism implies that it is possible in principle to understand human cognition as a form of computation.
However, this does not imply that it is possible in practice to computationally (re)make cognition «#philosophyofneuroscience
