What’s Wrong with Symbolic Logic?

Posted by in categories: computing, mathematics, neuroscience

Actually, nothing is wrong with it if you are a computer science major. It’s just that it has no place in the philosophy department.

From the point of anyone wanting to work in natural language, symbolic logic has all of the vices of mathematics and none of its virtues. That is, it is obscure to the point of incomprehensibility (given the weak neurons of this English major at any rate), and it leads to no useful outcome in the domain of human affairs. This would not be so bad were it not for all those philosophy major curricula that ask freshmen to take a course in it as their “introduction” to philosophy. For anyone looking to explore the meaning of life, this is a complete turnoff.

What were the philosophy mavens thinking?

Can an emerging field called ‘neural systems understanding’ explain the brain?

Posted by in categories: neuroscience, robotics/AI

Perhaps.


This mashup of neuroscience, artificial intelligence and even linguistics and philosophy of mind aims to crack the deep question of what ‘understanding’ is, however un-brain-like its models may be.

Fruitful insights on the brain from research on flies

Posted by in categories: life extension, neuroscience

Senescent cells, often described as zombie-like, are ones that have stopped dividing but are still alive.


Research led by the lab of Nancy M. Bonini of the School of Arts & Sciences have uncovered new details about the role of zombie-like cells in brain aging, using the fruit fly as a model.
