#Neuroscience as a field is relatively fragmented
..
We propose leveraging shared #neurodata repositories and #compneurosci modelling frameworks to benchmark methodologies, facilitating a more coherent integration of findings across #neuro subfields.

Additionally, we advocate for the creation of a structured “map” of neuroscience, charting relationships between domains to enhance conceptual clarity.

Bridging the epistemological divide in neuroscience to improve ontological clarity | Published in Aperture Neuro

By Giulia Baracchini, Eli Muller & 1 more. This perspective highlights the epistemological divide that arises from the wide variety of different experimental approaches... which in turn lead to ontological clashes in our understanding of brain function.

Processes, not things!

» However, I will argue at various points in this book that failure to attend to the differences, to disanalogies between living things and artificial devices, has been a mistake.

This just out-of-the-presses paper by Uljana Feest seems relevant to the stuff we've been discussing about context and ontology in cognitive neuroscience and psychology, and the Juarrero book (although it doesn't seem to engage with it).

In recent debates about the replication crisis, two positions have been dominant: one that focuses on methodological reforms and one that focuses on theory building. This paper takes up the suggestion ...

» Although the stated aim of the book is not to reform #neuroscience or offer advice to #neuroscientists
but rather to interpret their work,
I have not always kept myself within the bounds of description of scientific practice.

The prescriptive voice—on the folly of overestimating our comprehension of nature in itself, in its full complexity—does frequently come out. «
