We've been working for some time on the MeReX project (www.merex-project.org/about) An important part was asking our empirical collaborators whether they think ‘representation’ was needed in their explanation, and if so, how they understand that concept. Do you see value in doing that? Why/Why not?

What do philosophers mean by #mechanism, #representation, and #computation? 🤔

🔑 These concepts are key for successful #interdisciplinary research in #philsci #cogsci!

We’ve put together a quick summary for our #merex-project collaborators. Check it out: www.merex-project.org/post/introdu...

🧠 Our DFG-funded project "Mechanistic and Representational Explanations in Cognitive Neuroscience (MeReX)" is excited to introduce itself. Explore what we're all about: www.merex-project.org 🌐

#philsky #philsci #CognitiveNeuroscience #Conference #Berlin2025

We --the MeReX-project-- are organizing a conference on mechanistic, computational, and representational explanation in cognitive neuroscience at TU Berlin in February 2025! 🧠

Come and join us all! Registration opens in about a week.
