A Whiteheadian Innervation Of The Soma: A New Vision For The Peripheral Nervous System, David Milliern
A Whiteheadian Innervation Of The Soma: A New Vision For The Peripheral Nervous System, David Milliern
Journal of Conscious Evolution
This essay draws attention to two problems in neuroscience’s set of assumptions. These self-defeating assumptions include: 1) the assumption that what the nervous system, especially the brain, does is synthesize experience, while also assuming philosophical realism, and 2) the problem of biological signal transduction. In the latter, neuroscientists and philosophers of biology have left unaddressed the issue that the signal differences between the inside and outside of the organismic boundary are of distinct ontological types; and yet no concern has been expressed regarding how it is possible that an organism’s inner states could reflect the experiential content flowing from outside …

Rebecca Saxe: Investigating Theory Of Mind Using Multi-Voxel Pattern Analysis In Autistic Adults, Olivia G. Cadwell
Sound Neuroscience: An Undergraduate Neuroscience Journal
Rebecca Saxe is a neuroscientist in the field of cognitive science and research. Saxe uses multi-voxel pattern analysis (MVPA) in her research to study spatial neural responses in the right temporo-parietal junction (RTPJ) of the human brain and studies neural differences in the brain that allow non-autism spectrum disorder (neurotypical) adults to ascribe intentionality behind the actions of other individuals. While taking in consideration many prior studies, the current results from her research advocates that ASD effects the organization and voxel pattern of information in the ToM brain areas. Thus, the result of Saxe's research suggests that individuals with ASD …
