@PAdrianFrazier I feel like slapping the letters "ism" onto something just makes it seem ridiculous without even an argument. What is the empirical argument against encoding "ism"? What have all these neuroscientists been doing? I tend to agree with thi

@carl_b_sachs Less egocentically: Piccinini is on record claiming that cortical maps are S-reps in his latest book. That chapter re-elaborates some of the material form his paper with Thompson (https://t.co/ydZDa1X4nG) even if they never mention S-reps the

@vitalfunctions roughly, for starters: systematic covariation with either features of stimuli or responses + being triggered by said features + ability to be activated w/o stimuli + role in guiding behavior https://t.co/bDOZNFHChJ
@NeuroYogacara @PessoaBrain @tonychemero I agree that the debate is a bit stale, but for anyone who didn't catch earlier iterations, I'll just leave this here (not that I agree with all of the details). https://t.co/ibcZdhP2N7

@IntuitMachine I don’t see them as speeding up thinking necessarily, but rather as using past experience to guide upcoming action (predictions), and then updating themselves based on outcomes. My view on representations more closely aligns with this: htt

@personalitygeni @JohnKubie @EcsuOist @anilkseth Indeed! That's part of the evidence that supports the argument by Thomson & Piccinini in favor on the existence of neural representations! https://t.co/ytZyiIoqWZ
