Neuroepistemology Neuroepistemology is an empirical approach to epistemology—the study of knowledge in a general, philosophical sense—which is informed by modern neuroscience, especially the study of the structure and operation of the brain involving neural networks and neuronal epistemology. Philosopher Patricia Churchland has written about the topic and, in her book "Brain-Wise", characterised the problem as "how meat knows". Georg Northoff, in his "Philosophy of the Brain", wrote that it "focuses on direct linkage between the brain on one hand and epistemic abilities and inabilities on the other."
