The standard explanation model in neuroscience operates under the idea of the computational metaphor. With this in mind, the main motivation of this article is to undertake a review exercise prompted by a series of empirical evidence challenging the standard version from within the explanatory model itself.

With this in mind, the main motivation of this article is to undertake a review exercise prompted by a series of empirical evidence challenging the standard version from within the explanatory model itself. This leads us to consider that perhaps a conceptual revolution in neuroscience explanatory models may be plausible, with its conceptual foundations found in ecological psychology. The work will conclude by presenting some of the characteristics that ecological neuroscience should possess, in addition to offering some personal reflections on where this emerging research program should continue to evolve.
