大脑空间认知:从神经机制到哲学意义

Spatial Cognition of Brain: From Neural Mechanism to Philosophy Significance

脑科学的研究有力地促进了哲学的发展,而哲学包含着深刻的本体论、认识论和方法论,是未来脑科学研究的坚实基础。在对构成大脑空间认知系统的位置细胞、网格细胞、头部朝向细胞和边界细胞四类功能神经元响应特性及其作用机制细致分析的基础上,从本体论、认识论、方法论三个方面探讨了大脑空间认知研究的哲学意义。大脑空间认知等相关脑科学的研究成果对于哲学的发展具有重要意义,将在构建哲学与时俱进的解释力和预见力中发挥积极的作用。

The study of brain science has effectively promoted the development of philosophy, which contains profound ontology, epistemology and methodology. Meanwhile, philosophy is also a solid foundation for future brain science research. On the basis of detailed analysis of the response characteristics and mechanism of four functional neurons, namely, position cells, grid cells, head-facing cells and boundary cells, which constitute the spatial cognitive system of the brain, the philosophical significance of the spatial cognitive research of the brain is discussed from three aspects: ontology, epistemology and methodology. The research results of brain science, such as brain spatial cognition, are of great significance to the development of philosophy, and will play an active role in constructing the explanatory and predictive power of philosophy.
