Models, Simulations, and Experiments
I discuss the difference between models, simulations, and experiments from an epistemological and an ontological perspective. I first distinguish between ‘static’ models (like a map) and ‘dynamic’ models endowed with the capacity to generate processes. Only the latter can be used to simulate. I then criticise the view according to which the difference between models/simulations and experiments ...
متن کاملModels and Simulations in Brain Experiments
I begin by discussing the question of how we can observe the activity of the brain experimentally, and what the problems are of interpreting this activity. This is only a preliminary discussion to set the scene for the two experiments clnd simulation discussed later. The first experiment shows how we can identify the representation of a stimu1.us in the brain. In simple experiments we can do th...
متن کاملIn silico Simulations for DNA Shuffling Experiments
DNA shuffling is a powerful method used for in vitro evolute molecules with specific functions and has application in areas such as, for example, pharmaceutical, medical and agricultural research. The success of such experiments is dependent on a variety of parameters and conditions that, sometimes, can not be properly pre-established. Here, two computational models predicting DNA shuffling res...
متن کاملPhotonuclear Physics Models, Simulations, and Experiments for Nuclear Nonproliferation
This work illustrates a methodology based on photon interrogation and coincidence counting for determining the characteristics of fissile material. The feasibility of the proposed methods was demonstrated using the Monte Carlo-based MCNPX/MCNPPoliMi code system capable of simulating the full statistics of the neutron and photon field generated by the photon interrogation of fissile and non-fiss...
متن کاملExperiments, simulations, and epistemic privilege
Experiments are commonly thought to have epistemic privilege over simulations. Two ideas underpin this belief: First, experiments generate greater inferential power than simulations, and second, simulations cannot surprise us the way experiments can. In this paper I argue that neither of these claims is true of experiments versus simulations in general. We should give up the common practice of ...
