    Challenges→Imagining believing is implemented by the reuse of the belief-forming mechanism (satisfying condition b.ii).

    Shared neural implementation is insufficient evidence for the reuse of a single belief-forming mechanism, since functionally distinct systems can be co-implemented in overlapping cortical regions.

    Key Terms

    Belief-forming mechanism(as used in epistemology)
    The brain process or system that creates and develops what we believe to be true.
    Co-implemented(as used in neurophilosophy)
    When two or more different systems or processes happen using the same physical brain area at the same time.
    Cortical regions(as used in philosophy of mind and neuroscience)
    Different areas of the outer layer of the brain (the cortex), each usually responsible for different types of thinking or sensing.
    Functionally distinct(as used in philosophy of mind)
    Systems that do different jobs or serve different purposes, even if they might look similar or use the same physical parts.
    Neural implementation(as used in philosophy of mind)
