Solving the Mapping Problem

In the meantime check out this YouTube on Aligning Mind and Brain

This is a short 15-minute presentation originally given at a cognitive neuroscience webinar. It introduces a biological view of the mind as the background for aligning Mind and Brain. Put briefly, how can we develop a full account of the mind as a package of ‘biological software’ that can be systematically related to ‘the biological hardware’, i.e. the neural systems of the physical brain. There are many other ways of exploring the mind from different perspectives but these cannot solve the problem of relating physical brain and abstract mind in a non-piecemeal fashion. The MCF provides a psychological tool or starting point for developing a human ‘psychome’ detailing the properties that uniquely together define what it is to be human.
