 Here we focus only on the way that neuroscientific results have shaped the arguments for EM. Surprisingly, only one argument has been strongly influenced. (Most arguments for EM stress failures of folk psychology as an explanatory theory of behavior.) This argument is based on a development in cognitive and computational neuroscience that might provide a genuine alternative to the representations and computations implicit in folk psychological generalizations. Many eliminative materialists assume that folk psychology is committed to propositional representations and computations over their contents that mimic logical inferences (Paul Churchland 1981; Stich 1983; Patricia Churchland  1986).[2]  Even though discovering an alternative to this view has been an eliminativist goal for some time, some eliminativists hold that neuroscience only began delivering this alternative over the past thirty years. Points in and trajectories through vector spaces, as an interpretation of synaptic events and neural activity patterns in biological and artificial neural networks are the key features of this alternative. The differences between these notions of cognitive representation and transformations, and those of the propositional attitudes of folk psychology, provide the basis for one argument for EM (Paul Churchland 1987). However, this argument will be opaque to those with no background in cognitive and computational neuroscience, so we present a few details. With these details in place, we will return to this argument for EM (five paragraphs below).
