Problems with Representations (Hebrew)
Pasternak Anton
Description
Final assignment of the course: "Philosophical Foundations Of Computational Neuroscience".
This paper explores how computational models are used in neuroscience and what philosophical assumptions they rely on. I examined whether these models truly explain brain function or just simulate it, and I argued that philosophy is essential for clarifying what counts as a good explanation. My conclusion was that computational neuroscience becomes stronger when it combines rigorous modeling with careful philosophical reflection.
