    There is no such thing as raw sensory data. It's interpretation, and error correction, all the way down.https://twitter.com/computingnature/status/1142510839087423489 …

    Story time! Single neurons in the brain can’t be depended on for reliable information. Here are some neurons from our recent study, recorded twice in response to the same visual stimuli. Different neurons are active at different times! https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/679324v1 … pic.twitter.com/BmAAkxyb3M

        It’s a nice example of how the prevailing views are empiricist, and therefore expect mental/brain events to primarily depend on external stimuli, at least at a low level. And, when that is not the case, it is presumed to be a sort of noisy error.

        This also assumes that these neurons are somehow exclusively used for processing what we call visual stimuli

        When you see the same thing twice in a row, neural network has already made adaptations in handling that particular data more effciently. It is only logical it is very different result the next time. If it weren't there would be no adaptation and optimization.

        Aren't the Jungian Archetypes, Kantian Categories, Platonic Ideas, Schopenhaueren Prototypes all constant behind the raw sensory data of neuronal firing patterns

        Those are all imaginary. We can't communicate well enough to confirm that they are constant.

        Perception is always subjective and changing. This is the subject/object epistemic split in action.
