Truth, demonstration and knowledge: a classical solution to the paradox of knowability
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2015)
After introducing semantic anti-realism and the paradox of knowability, the paper offers a reconstruction of the anti-realist argument from the theory of understanding. The proposed reconstruction validates an unrestricted ...
Coupling between human brain activity and body movements: Insights from non-invasive electromagnetic recordings
(NeuroImage, 2019)
Electroencephalographic and magnetoencephalographic data have characterized two types of brain–body interactions
observed during various types of motor actions, “corticokinematic” and “corticomuscular” coupling. Here,
we ...
Kant and natural kind terms
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2016)
As is well known, the linguistic/philosophical reflection on natural kind terms has undergone a remarkable development in the early seventies with Putnam and Kripke’s essentialist approaches (cf. §3), touching upon different ...
Flexible predictions during listening comprehension: Speaker reliability affects anticipatory processes
(Neuropsychologia, 2019)
During listening comprehension, the identification of individual words can be strongly influenced by properties
of the preceding context. While sentence context can facilitate both behavioral and neural responses, it is ...
Illustrating a neural model of logic computations: the case of Sherlock Holmes’ old maxim
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2016)
Natural languages can express some logical propositions that humans are able to understand. We illustrate this fact with a famous text that Conan Doyle attributed to Holmes: “It is an old maxim of mine that when you have ...
Difference making, explanatory relevance, and mechanistic models
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2016)
In this paper we consider mechanistic explanations for biologic malfunctions. Drawing on Lipton’s (1993) work on difference making, we offer three reasons why one should distinguish i) mechanistic features that only make ...
Scientific knowledge in the age of computation: explicated, computable and manageable?
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2019)
With increasing publication and data production, scientific knowledge presents not simply an achievement but also a challenge. Scientific publications and data are increasingly treated as resources that need to be digitally ...
The aim of belief and the aim of science
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2019)
Argumento en este artículo que el objetivo de la creencia y el objetivo de la ciencia son ambos conocimiento. El “objetivo de la creencia” debe identificarse con el producto de un sistema cognitivo que funcione correctamente. ...
Wiring optimization explanation in neuroscience: What is special about it?
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2019)
Este artículo examina la distintividad explicativa de los modelos de optimización del cableado en neurociencia. Los modelos de optimización del cableado se proponen representar los rasgos organizativos de los sistemas ...
On Euclidean diagrams and geometrical knowledge
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2019)
We argue against the claim that the employment of diagrams in Euclidean geometry gives rise to gaps in the proofs. First, we argue that it is a mistake to evaluate its merits through the lenses of Hilbert’s formal ...
