This is why it’s fun to teach on your research: today we discussed a chapter of my book on patchwork concepts in science. The students asked if we try can build a patchwork, and so we used the case of “gene“ from the previous session, which I hadn’t analyzed explicitly before!

Finally, Patrick McGivern pronouncing the Metabolic Turn in philosophy of cognition, with work on the role of metabolism for non-neural cognition, such as bacteria chemotaxis (4/4)
Thanks to all speakers and participants for the great Q&A!

Turning to evolution, Matthew Sims (in joint work w Marta Halina) explained how predictive brain models may have evolved from corollary discharge, which itself resulted from the need to distinguish external input from sensory feedback once nervous systems relied on sensorimotor integration (3/4)

Next was a talk by @jtheriault.bsky.social presenting a metabolic model of „activity“ in neuroimaging, suggesting that stimulus elicited BOLD responses Track prediction error processing in the brain, but not baseline metabolic load related to processing predictions (2/4)

Had a great session on the relation between metabolism and cognition at BSPS Glasgow, organized by @davidcolaco.bsky.social . We presented joint work on using metabolism to constrain and generate cognitive models (1/2)

As the semester days get hot, our Phil neuroscience readings are hot off the press: today we talked about Dan Burnston’s latest: epistemic reduction of ‚decision‘ to accumulate to bound models in neuroscience. We discussed which aspects of decision can or cannot be reduced by these models (1/2)

Another gem from our Phil Neuroscience seminar: Mazviita Chirimuuta on canonical computations and explanation in neuroscience: link.springer.com/article/10.1...
We discussed what distinguishes mechanistic from minimal model explanations, how to identify neural details relevant to explanation (1/2)

Today I taught the paper on “memory transfer” by the great @davidcolaco.bsky.social in my class at @iphilluh.bsky.social . The was phil sci at its best: general conceptual work (what is a scientific phenomenon?) with a concrete historical case on interesting science, a normative angle 1/2

Melinda Bonnie Fagan on particularism, a novel view of explanation that takes the radical diversity of explanatory styles in scientific practice as a starting point for philosophy of science, unity is achieved by patching together explanations from different meso-level communities.

Fantastic talks so far at the epistemic diversity, pluralism and progress workshop in Wuppertal. Here @oscarw.bsky.social is talking about pluralism about philosophical views of scientific progress.
