<p>That’s not to say that a cognitive scientist wouldn’t benefit from learning a little about neuroscience, and vice versa. It’s just that they are fundamentally asking different questions.</p>
<p>Furthermore, I don’t think it’s pseudoscience at all. You have this piece of machinery living on top of your shoulders with a certain size, weight and power. The laws of physics still apply. Yet it can solve problems that take supercomputers to solve or problems that supercomputers can’t even solve. It’s not a question of whether computational models are valuable, it more a question of what is the brain actually doing? What are the algorithms? etc.</p>
