Abstract

Considering the discoveries allowed by new technologies to observe and measure neural activity, a discussion is proposed about theoretical interpretations in cognitive sciences. The author comments these interpretations in the frame of the promissory advances in way to delimitate circuits and zones where high cognition activities are concentrated, advances that are predominantly possible with the development of "Space Techniques", like the MRI, the fMRI and others. This is opposed with the "Time Techniques", (like electroencephalograph (EEG)) empirical approaches and discoveries, that have fed cognitive theories associated with Dynamic Systems. Finally, influences of both types of techniques in cognition are commented, paying special attention to analyze what we observe with each technique, and how that influences our theoretical conceptions.
