[Hermeneutics of Neural Activity: The Relationship Between Brain Activity from Multiple Perspectives].

From the 20th century to the 21st century, rapid progress has been made in the field of neuroscience due to the application of single-cell and multi-channel recording techniques to awake animals while they are engaged in behavioral tasks. As a result, neuroscience has challenged areas that were previously thought to fall within the field of psychology. However, several problems have been pointed out regarding the discourse and literacy of neuroscience. Therefore, in this essay, I will discuss interpretations of neural activity from three perspectives: causality, part-whole relationships, and inside-out vs. outside-in research approaches.
