DESCRIPTION:In this lecture\, I propose a new foundation for understanding
  representation\, computation\, intentionality\, and thought in neurocogni
 tive systems. I argue that neural representation and computation are real\
 , mechanistic\, and situated\, rejecting both classical symbolic theories 
 of mind and purely associationist alternatives. Building from contemporary
  neuroscience\, I offer a novel account of basic intentionality: by simula
 ting nonactual conditions while tracking departures from actual ones\, neu
 ral systems can successfully represent absent\, possible\, false\, and non
 existent scenarios.
