The Role of the Axiomatic Systems in Neuroscience

Abstract: In this paper, we use axiomatic systems from different physical and mathematical models which lie at the foundation of epistemology, in order to extrapolate them over some mechanisms and psychological concepts involved in the human perception and cognition. To this aim, we use a paradigmatic interdisciplinary methodology, from a structurally-phenomenological and naturalistic perspective. We also analyze the paradoxes of quantum physics and the wave-corpuscle duality, in order to find the same need for formulating axioms in the various psychological theories, as well as in the new discoveries made in Neuroscience. Our approach highlights an axiomatic unity as a gnosiological principle, while highlighting it both in the epistemological evolution in time, but also throughout the reality levels from various paradigms. We also point out the importance of the axiomatic paradigms which unify reality with the subject, the object and the observer, the mind with the brain, in a naturalistic approach which can generate new knowledge hypotheses.
