Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This chapter demonstrates the relevance of empirical findings for issues in the neuroscience of ethics and the ethics of neuroscience. It explores how data clearly shows that the brain's neuronal activity aligns to its ecological context, implying a relational and spatio-temporal model of brains. The chapter examines the concept of self in a neurorelational way, on the premise that the self as the basis of agency cannot be reduced to the brain, but instead to the relationship between the external world and the brain. It discusses the issue of self-enhancement in the context of deep brain stimulation. Most importantly, the extension of the spatio-temporal structure beyond the brain and body to the world signifies spontaneous activity as intrinsically neuro-ecological and relational, also entailing a non-reductionistic view of the brain. Deep brain stimulation is a potential form of treatment for severe forms of conditions such as anorexia nervosa, major depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
