This Week on Brains: Representations in the mind and brain sciences: Time for conceptual reform or elimination; or embrace the state of affairs?

This week on Brains, we are happy to host a discussion of the concept of representation in the neural and psychological sciences, centered around Louie Favela and Edouard Machery‘s recent paper, “Investigating the concept of representation in the neural and psychological sciences.” We’ll have a precis of the paper today by Favela (University of Central Florida) and Machery (University of Pittsburgh). Then, on Tuesday and Thursday, we’ll have excellent commentaries from Ben Baker (Colby College) and Inês Hipólito (Macquarie). On Wednesday and Friday, Louie and Edouard will respond to the comments.

You can see all of the posts here. Please join us for this fascinating discussion, and feel free to join in on the discussion board!
