What behaviourism can (and cannot) tell us about brain imaging
Robert Shulman belongs to a rare breed. On the one hand, he is a true pioneer of MRI, a technology that has galvanised cognitive neuroscience by allowing researchers to trace the flux of metabolic activity in the living brain under diverse experimental conditions. On the other, he is a staunch behaviourist who believes that terms like ‘attention’ and ‘working memory’ should be expunged from sci...
متن کاملWhat artifice can and cannot tell us about animal behavior
Artifice-the manipulation of social and environmental stimuli-is fundamental to research in animal behavior. State-of-the-art techniques have been developed to generate and present complex visual stimuli. These techniques have unique strengths and limitations. However, many of the issues with synthetic animation and virtual reality are common to playback experiments in general, including those ...
متن کاملWhat neurobiology cannot tell us about addiction.
Molecular neurobiological studies have yielded enormous amounts of valuable information about neuronal response mechanisms and their adaptive changes. However, in relation to addiction this information is of limited value because almost every cell function appears to be involved. Thus it tells us only that neurons adapt to 'addictive drugs' as they do to all sorts of other functional disturbanc...
متن کاملWhat univariate models can tell us about multivariate macroeconomic models
A longstanding feature of macroeconomic forecasting has been that a wide variety of multivariate models have struggled to out-predict univariate representations. We seek an explanation of this feature in terms of population properties. We show that if we know the univariate properties of a time-series yt these constrain tightly both the dimensions and the predictive power of the multivariate ma...
متن کاملWhat Paint Can Tell Us
Objective: The notion that artistic capability increases with dementia is both novel and largely unsupported by available literature. Recent research has suggested an emergence of artistic capabilities to be a by-product of involuntary behaviour seen with dementia, as opposed to a progression in original thinking (de Souza, et al., 2010). A far more complementary explanation comes from Hanneman...
