Neurobabble and Real Science of the Mind
Neurobabble and Real Science of the Mind
via Maverick Philosopher
I love neuroscience. Or more particularly, I love some of the strange things that can be encountered in the science of the mind--synaesthesia is most particularly interesting to me. But I've often found myself frustrated with neuroscience for reasons I couldn't quite pinpoint. It often seemed as though explanations were offered that explained nothing. Or that explanations went off in search of a problem. There was something distinctly unsatisfying with my encounters. This article goes a long way toward explaining it and offering a glimpse of what the author calls a real science of the mind. As to that, I cannot say because the fields he talks about are news to me--but they look like they may be fruitful areas in which to read in the future.
