- 요약This dissertation investigates the nature of cognitive models and scientific models in philosophy of neuroscience. An overarching theme is that models are useful for inferring facts about the world, and in order for such model-to-world inferences to be possible, there has to be a kind of structural similarity between the model and the target. This structural similarity can be described in terms of a mapping from components or variables in the model to variables in the world. In a variety of settings (compositional representations, cognitive (internal) models more generally, and mechanistic models of the brain), I explore what kinds of mappings are required in order for a putative model to count as a genuine (and successful) model. In the case of internal models, I argue that without any constraints on the mapping from model to world, almost anysystem can satisfy a mapping-based criterion of internal model. To rectify this issue, I argue for functional constraints on the mapping, namely that the mapping be usable by an agent to make predictions about the world (making what counts as a genuine "internal model", as well as what kind of mapping should be allowed, context-dependent). In the final chapter on mechanistic models in neuroscience, there is a related issue of what kind of mapping should be used to assess similarity between a candidate mechanistic model and the brain. In this case, I argue that the correct mapping to use is the same kind of mapping needed to map between different animal subjects in the population being modeled. Thus, rather than using an a prioridefinition of allowable mapping, the correct mapping is in fact an empirical issue to be determined based on the observable variation in neural responses in a given population of subjects.
