Brain and mind
What neuroscience does not settle.
Levels of explanation
Knowing which regions activate does not explain experience, any more than knowing which transistors switch explains a program. Both descriptions can be true at once.
- Neural correlates of consciousness are correlates, not an explanation.
- Psychological explanations are not made obsolete by biological ones.
Caution with claims
Your brain on X headlines usually report small studies with weak designs. The brain changes with every experience, so finding a change is not itself a finding.
