ABSTRACT
Earlier in this conference, Peter Killeen argued very forcefully that we now face an historic opportunity in the field of cognitive neuroscience: by trying to understand the mathematical laws which underlie learning, in a generic way, spanning large parts of the brain, we can begin to create a precise and universal science here, with a serious similarity to physics. We face an opportunity to reinvent neuroscience, in much the same way that Newton reinvented physics.
