SUMMARY:Evidence and Theory in Neuroscience - Seminars in Society and Neuroscience
DESCRIPTION:Faculty House\, Columbia University\n64 Morningside Drive\, New York\, NY 10027 \nWe need theories to make sense of evidence—to transform patterns of physical occurrences into something meaningful\, i.e.\, data. This relationship between theory and evidence is often at least partially opaque\, particularly in a field like neuroscience that often aims to use physical evidence to characterize mental\, and in some cases social\, events. Neuroscience navigates this relationship by offering mechanistic descriptions of “how” psychological processes operate. Yet\, this line of inquiry relies on theoretical assumptions that are not fully tethered to the data itself. What kind of knowledge does neuroscience offer that psychology and behavioral sciences do not? How contingent on psychological theories is neuroscientific understanding? \nIntroduction:\nAniruddha Das\, Associate Professor of Neuroscience\, Columbia University \nSpeakers:\nPeter Bearman\, Director of the Interdisciplinary Center for Innovative Theories and Empirics (INCITE) and Cole Professor of Social Science\, Columbia University\nSuzanne Goh\, Co-founder and Chief Medical Officer\, Cortica; Neurologist\, UCSD\nJesse Prinz; Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York (CUNY) \nModerators:\nAndrew Goldman\, Presidential Scholar in Society and Neuroscience\, Columbia University\nLan Li\, Presidential Scholar in Society and Neuroscience\, Columbia University \nFree and open to the public\, but RSVP is required via Eventbrite. This event is part of the Seminars in Society and Neuroscience series. \n
