 We’ve already seen one example, the vector transformation account of neural representation and computation, once under active development in cognitive neuroscience (see  section 2 above).  Other approaches using “cognitivist” resources were, and continue to be,  pursued.[16]  Some of these projects draw upon “cognitivist” characterizations of the phenomena to be explained. Some exploit “cognitivist” experimental techniques and methodologies. Some even attempt to derive “cognitivist” explanations from cell-biological processes (e.g., Hawkins and Kandel 1984). As Stephen Kosslyn (1997) put it, cognitive neuroscientists employ the “information processing” view of the mind characteristic of cognitivism without trying to separate it from theories of brain mechanisms. Such an endeavor calls for an interdisciplinary community willing to communicate the relevant portions of the mountain of detail gathered in individual disciplines with interested nonspecialists. This requires more than people willing to confer with others working at related levels, but also researchers trained explicitly in the methods and factual details of a variety of disciplines. This is a daunting need, but it offers hope to philosophers wishing to contribute to actual neuroscience. Thinkers trained in both the “synoptic vision” afforded by philosophy, and the scientific and experimental basis of a genuine (graduate-level) science would be ideally equipped for this task. Recognition of this potential niche was slow to dawn on graduate programs in philosophy, but a few programs have taken steps to fill it (see, e.g.,  Other Internet Resources  below).
