I am referring the reader to a highly technical article entitled “Common neural choice signals emerge artifactually amidst multiple distinct value signals,” authored by R. Fromer et al, October 2022. In their significance statement the authors state that “these findings call for a significant reexamination of established links between neural and computational mechanisms of choice, while inviting deeper consideration of the array of cognitive and affective processes that occur in parallel.” they go on to conclude their article with the comment, “our work shows that evidence of accumulation is not sufficient to argue for an evidence accumulation account, and that to better understand the array of signals that appear over the course of a decision, we need to incorporate insights from affective science, metacognition and cognitive control [Italics added].”
i suggest that neuroscientists are acknowledging that there is more to cognition than what is considered by the perspective of materialist reductionism that maintains that the mind is the brain. i refer you to my last blog post that deals with metacognition.
