Workshop: Explanation in Cognitive Neuroscience: From empirical case studies to philosophical analysis
NeuroExp 2025 is an interdisciplinary workshop organised by the research group on Mechanistic and Representational Explanation in Cognitive Neuroscience (MeReX), which aims to showcase both empirical neuroscientific work, which can serve as the basis of philosophical theorising, and philosophical work engaging with empirical case studies in neuroscience. Our focus is on exploring the explanatory practices in cognitive neuroscience under the headings of mechanistic explanation, representational explanation and computational explanation.
