Product Description

§16§§This volume brings together new papers advancing contemporary debates in foundational, conceptual, and methodological issues in cognitive neuroscience. The different perspectives presented in each chapter have previously been discussed between the authors, as the volume builds on the experience of Neural Mechanisms (NM) Online - webinar series on the philosophy of neuroscience organized by the editors of this volume. §16§ience, this work draws upon the expertise of both established scholars and promising early career researchers.§ §04§Part 1: Explanation and prediction.- Chapter 2.
