ABSTRACT
In this chapter, progress has been made in developing specific psychobiological theories of mind-brain relations at the macroneural level- that are designated as MCT. There are two separate tasks in the development of theory. The first is the determination of localized and relevant neural activity evoked by a particular cognitive task. The second is teasing out the properties of the interconnections between these locations in a way that makes interdisciplinary cognitive neuroscience theory even plausible. The chapter represents an up-to-date and comprehensive quantitative approach to MCT theory whose methods and concepts are spelled out relatively. It explains some of the most obvious difficulties faced by MCT theoreticians operating at the macroneural level. In the macroneural level, the brain is not quite so made up of precisely defined discrete components. The problems plaguing quantitative approach to the mind-brain problem are immense and must eventually become better to cognitive neuroscientists, some of those currently tread along the fringes of posing intractable problems.
