neuroskepticism

Noun CEFR C2

Definitions

Skepticism of neuroscientific claims.

countable, uncountable

Examples

“As the neurologist and ethicist Eran Klein (2009) has pointed out, others have deployed the neuro-logism “neuroskepticism” in their quest to understand the turn to neurophilia, if not neuro-obsession.”
Such fulmination is an extreme version of neuroskepticism: simply defined as a distrust of neuroscientific claims about any but the most technical of questions, along with a visceral rejection of any scientific enthusiasm from humanists.”
