I very much enjoyed her talk. It was nice to see her finish by highlighting the value of the inter-disciplinarity that characterises cognitive science. It’s that coming together of different disciplinary perspectives that has been of the main attractions of being a cognitive scientist for me… #cogsci25

3/ even better: much of her talk and her work focus on causation and some of the debates we’ve repeatedly had here - what is a mechanism? and what is its role in causal explanation in neuroscience

and how can social structures like policies, social hierarchies, or economic circumstances be ‘causes’ of individual level outcomes? On what notion of causality can we make sense of such notions of causal constraint?
