Episode notes
Neuroscience Crisis
- Neuroscience struggles to explain behavior after a century of research, despite considerable effort.
- This suggests a flawed paradigm, not inherent brain complexity, hindering progress.
Control Theory's Importance
- Control theory offers an alternative to linear causation models in neuroscience, as closed-loop systems defy cause-and-effect explanations.
- This framework suggests the brain operates as a hierarchical control system.
Cybernetics' Misconception
- Cybernetics, while insightful, mistakenly treated reference signals as external inputs like in engineering.
- Biological systems generate reference signals internally, highlighting the autonomy of living organisms.
