The project's main objective is to investigate models and representations in general in Neurobiology related to the visual system, mainly based on the book Brain and Visual Perception: The Story of a 25-Year Collaboration, which brings together the most important publications by David H. Hubel and Torsten N. Wiesel. In addition to this analysis, the project also seeks to understand, first, how philosophers investigate models and mechanisms in science, emphasizing those who analyze the neural mechanisms of visual perception, and how these investigations are being used to understand the work of the two previous authors, and second, the positions and hypotheses in the philosophy of perception to explain the subjective visual phenomenal field. As a result of these efforts, the project intends to contribute to the advancement of neuroscientific knowledge and its relationship with philosophical foundations.
