Optimality Models in Neuroscience Explanations by Anonymous sQ9wLhhZ is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes an article that argues optimality models in neuroscience provide design explanations rather than causal mechanical explanations as assumed by mechanist philosophers. The author discusses neural wiring optimization models that explain features of neural systems based on minimizing wiring costs given design constraints.
