Some Reductive Strategies in Cognitive Neurobiology [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
A powerful conception of representation and computation-Drawn from recent work in the neurosciences-Is here outlined. Its virtues are explained and explored in three important areas: sensory representation, Sensorimotor coordination, And microphysical implementation. It constitutes a highly general conception of cognitive activity that has significant reductive potential.
