In this book, William R. Uttal continues his analysis and critique
of theories of mind. This book considers theories that are based on
macroneural responses (such as those obtained from fMRI) that
represent the averaged or cumulative responses of many neurons. The
analysis is carried out with special emphasis on the logical and
conceptual difficulties in developing a theory but with special
attention to some of the current attempts to go from these
cumulative responses to explanations of the grand question of how
the mind is generated by the brain. While acknowledging the
importance of these macroneural techniques in the study of the
anatomy and physiology of the brain, Uttal concludes that this
macroneural approach is not likely to produce a valid neural theory
of cognition because the critical information-the states of the
individual neurons-involved in brain activity becoming mental
activity is actually lost in the process of summation.
Controversial topics are considered in detail including discussions
of empirical, logical, and technological barriers to theory
building in cognitive neuroscience.
