We offer to extend structural realism into the field of mind and brain studies. The naturalised metaphysics of structural realism has been defined in terms of unification of sciences. The unification program has been carried out nicely in fields of Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity. But for the structural realist metaphysics to receive a recommendation, the unification program needs to be extended to the fields of especial sciences. Our aim in the paper is twofold. On the one hand, we present a structural realist theory of the brain that is well-supported by the best theories of computational neurosciences. On the other hand, and at the same time, we provide further reason for being optimistic about the structural realism metaphysical claim which is based on the idea of unification in sciences.

我们提议将结构现实主义扩展到心灵和大脑研究领域。结构实在论的自然化形而上学是根据科学的统一定义的。统一计划在量子力学和广义相对论领域得到了很好的实施。但要让结构实在论形而上学获得推荐，统一计划需要扩展到特殊科学领域。我们在论文中的目标是双重的。一方面，我们提出了一种结构现实主义的大脑理论，该理论得到了计算神经科学最佳理论的充分支持。另一方面，同时，我们进一步提供了对基于科学统一思想的结构实在论形而上学主张持乐观态度的理由。
