From natalia.castelobrancomatos at yale.edu Mon Jan 6 08:47:44 2025 From: natalia.castelobrancomatos at yale.edu (Natalia Castelo Branco Matos) Date: Mon, 6 Jan 2025 08:47:44 -0500 Subject: [WTI-trainee] APHINE Presents Stuart Firestein, January 22nd, 4:00 PM " Towards a Pluralistic Approach to Neuroscience." Message-ID: We are thrilled to announce an upcoming session of our neurophilosophy seminar series featuring *Professor Stuart Firestein *from Columbia University. ?? Talk Title: Towards a Pluralistic Approach to Neuroscience. ? Date: Wednesday, January 22nd, 2025 ? Time: 4:00 - 5:00 PM ? Location: 100 College Street, Room 1167 *About the Speaker: *Professor Stuart Firestein is the former Chair of Columbia University?s Department of Biological Sciences. His laboratory studies the vertebrate olfactory system as a model for investigating general principles and mechanisms of signal transduction. Alongside his scientific work, Professor Firestein is equally recognized for his thought-provoking perspectives on the scientific process, emphasizing the critical role of ignorance and failure. In his 2012 book, *Ignorance: How It Drives Science*, he explores the idea that scientific progress thrives on what we don?t know rather than what we do. In his follow-up 2015 book *Failure: Why Science Is So Successful, *Professor Firestein underscores failure as the engine of discovery, reframing it as an integral and positive part of the scientific journey. *About the Talk: *There is an old Chinese proverb that says one dog barks in the night and a hundred other dogs bark at that dog, and someone says, Wow! I wonder what?s going on!!? Too often scientific research, and in particular neuroscience research, is like a hundred dogs barking at a new result. The classic case of this in neuroscience is what I call the tyranny of Hubel and Wiesel, although I am using that provocatively to consider the larger concept of maps in the brain. This has been a pervasive idea from phrenology to the connectome and has directed millions if not billions of research dollars and millions of graduate student and postdoc hours into efforts to track down these maps. In this talk, I?ll have a closer look at maps in the brain and suggest why it may not be the best way to imagine brain function. The problem is not that it may be wrong - it surely is at least partly correct. The problem is that it has dominated neuroscience research to the exclusion of other useful perspectives that don?t get funded or published. One solution to this is that neuroscience needs to adopt a more pluralistic approach. Pluralism admits of more than one correct answer to any problem even if those answers are incommensurable. How this might be practiced in Neuroscience and what that entails will be the subject of the last part of the talk and hopefully the discussion. Looking forward to seeing you there!

This ?fly connectome? was hailed by the media as a revolutionary achievement. But can a digital map of a dead brain, no matter how detailed, really tell us about the mind of a fly? In this talk, Professor Seung will show the dazzling sights of fly neurons, and then he will help us to decipher their meaning. Just by looking and thinking, we shall come to understand some of the workings of a fly?s mind.
