  • The Epistemology of Evidence in Cognitive Neuroscience1
    To appear in In R. Skipper Jr., C. Allen, R. A. Ankeny, C. F. Craver, L. Darden, G. Mikkelson, and R. Richardson (eds.), Philosophy and the Life Sciences: A Reader. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press. The Epistemology of Evidence in Cognitive Neuroscience1 William Bechtel Department of Philosophy and Science Studies University of California, San Diego 1. The Epistemology of Evidence It is no secret that scientists argue. They argue about theories. But even more, they argue about the evidence for theories. Is the evidence itself trustworthy? This is a bit surprising from the perspective of traditional empiricist accounts of scientific methodology according to which the evidence for scientific theories stems from observation, especially observation with the naked eye. These accounts portray the testing of scientific theories as a matter of comparing the predictions of the theory with the data generated by these observations, which are taken to provide an objective link to reality. One lesson philosophers of science have learned in the last 40 years is that even observation with the naked eye is not as epistemically straightforward as was once assumed. What one is able to see depends upon one’s training: a novice looking through a microscope may fail to recognize the neuron and its processes (Hanson, 1958; Kuhn, 1962/1970).2 But a second lesson is only beginning to be appreciated: evidence in science is often not procured through simple observations with the naked eye, but observations mediated by complex instruments and sophisticated research techniques. What is most important, epistemically, about these techniques is that they often radically alter the phenomena under investigation.

  • The 20 Jean-Louis Signoret Neuropsychology Prize of the Fondation Ipsen Is Awarded to Prof. Patricia K. Kuhl (University of Wash
    Press release The 20th Jean-Louis Signoret Neuropsychology Prize of the Fondation Ipsen is awarded to Prof. Patricia K. Kuhl (University of Washington, Seattle, USA) Paris (France), 2 December 2011 – The international jury under the presidency of Prof. Albert Galaburda (Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA) awarded on November 29th, 2011 the 20th Jean- Louis Signoret Neuropsychology Prize of the Fondation Ipsen (20.000€) to Prof. Prof. Patricia K. Kuhl (University of Washington, Seattle, USA) for her work that played a major role in the understanding of language acquisition and the neural bases of language. Infants are born with innate abilities to easily identify every sound of every language, however, by the end of the first year of life, infants show a perceptual narrowing of their language skills. Their ability to discern differences in the sounds that make up words in the world’s languages shrinks. Nonnative sounds are no longer differentiated. This developmental transition is caused by two interacting factors: the child’s computational skills and their social brains. Computational skills allow rapid statistical learning and social interaction is necessary for this computational learning process to occur. Neuroimaging using Magnetoencephalography (MEG) may help explain the neuroplasticity of the child’s mind versus the more expert (but less open) mind of the adult, and account for the “critical period” for language. She also studied the early development of the brain of bilingual children. By 10 to 12 months bilingual infants do not show the perceptual narrowing of the monolingual children. This is another piece of evidence that experiences shape the brain.

He was among the first to use reaction times for analyzing hemispheric specializations and interactions in intact and split brain humans. His latest research interests include visual spatial attention and the representation of the body in the brain.

My deepest roots lie in the ancient Lombard city of Pavia, where I was born 78 years ago, on May 25, 1935, and in that part of the province of Pavia that lies to the south of the Po River and is called the Oltrepò Pavese. The hilly part of the Oltrepò is covered with beautiful vineyards that according to archaeological and historical evidence have been used to produce good wines for millennia.

  • Analysis for Science Librarians of the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physiology Or Medicine: the Life and Work of John O’Keefe, Edvard Moser, and May-Britt Moser
    Analysis for Science Librarians of the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine: The Life and Work of John O’Keefe, Edvard Moser, and May-Britt Moser Neyda V. Gilman Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO Navigation and awareness of space is a complicated cognitive process that requires sensory input and calculation, as well as spatial memory. The 2014 Nobel Laureates in Physiology or Medicine, John O’Keefe, Edvard Moser, and May-Britt Moser, have worked to explain how an environmental map forms and is used in the brain (Nobelprize.org 2014b). O’Keefe discovered place cells that allow the brain to learn and remember specific locations. The Mosers added the second part of the “positioning system in the brain” with their discovery of grid cells, which provide the brain with a navigational coordinate system (Nobelprize.org 2014b). Introduction Alfred Nobel dictated in his will that his millions were to be used to create the Nobel Foundation in order to fund Nobel Prizes, the first of which was awarded in 1901 (Nobelprize.org 2014g). The Prize for Physiology or Medicine is given to those who are found to have made a major discovery that changes scientific thinking and benefits mankind. Between 1901 and 1953 there were over 5,000 individuals nominated for the Physiology or Medicine prize, less than seventy of which eventually became Laureates. For the 2014 Prize alone, 263 scientists were nominated (Nobelprize.org 2014h). The prize is not meant to honor those who are seen as leaders in the scientific community or those who have made many achievements over their lifetime.

  • Developing Mind, Second Edition
    Praise for THE DEVELOPING MIND “A tour de force of synthesis and integration. Siegel has woven a rich tapestry that provides a compelling account of how our interpersonal worlds and neural systems form two important pillars of the mind. The second edition brings the latest neuroscientific evidence to the fore; it is a ‘must read’ for any student or professional interested in mental health, child development, and the brain.” —RICHA R D J. DAVIDSON , PhD, William James and Vilas Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry; Founder and Chair, Center for Investigating Healthy Minds, University of Wisconsin–Madison “With the original publication of The Developing Mind, the field of interpersonal neurobiology was born. Siegel’s genius for synthesizing and humanizing neu- roscience, attachment, and developmental theory made the book a bestseller and attracted thousands to this new field. The second edition benefits from over a decade’s worth of additional findings, reflections, ideas, and insights. I encourage you to take Siegel up on his offer to share this fascinating journey, whether for the first time or for a return trip. You won’t be disappointed.” —LOUIS COZO L INO , PhD, Department of Psychology, Pepperdine University “When The Developing Mind was first published, Siegel’s proposal that mind, brain, and relationships represented ‘three aspects of one reality’ essential to human well-being still seemed closer to inspired speculation than teachable scientific knowledge. Just over a decade later, the neurobiology of interpersonal experience has grown into one of the hottest areas of psychological research. Over two thousand new references surveyed for the second edition testify to just how far neuroscientists, developmental psychologists, and clinicians have brought the field as they begin to more fully chart the interplay of mind, body, and relationships.
