Neuroheuristics (or neuristics) studies the dynamic relations between the complex knowledgeacquired by neuroscience by means of an approachnot reducible in an expertise since it is continuously renewed at every stage of progress towards scientific discovery. The neuroheuristic paradigm was presented for the first time at the conference , held in 1994 at the Centro Stefano Franscini Monte Verità, under the auspice of the XV Videart Festival Locarno. The research framework introduced by the neuroheuristic paradigm appears as an essential step for the investigation of the information processing effected by the brain because it is the outcome of nature and nurture, at the crossing of top-down and bottom-up design. The neurobiologists apply a bottom-up research strategy in their studies. This strategy seems to prove necessary and sufficient to understand a brain in its entirety after the impressive achievements in studying the entire nervous system of a simple model organism , such as Caenorhabditis elegans. However it is not wholly viable to actual experimentation considering the impossibility of simultaneously examining all cellular elements of the brain and all variables that affect those elements. The top-down strategy with the assistance of black box theory appears easier to bring to fulfillment but insufficient and irrelevant in understanding the mechanisms coordinating the local networks of cellular elements . The neuroheuristic (or neuristic) paradigm offers as a needed and possible distinct approach to the study of brain and mind. In this framework, a result cannot be simply positive or negative because the process itself cannot be reduced to proficiency as such. Dynamics is an essential feature of the neuroheuristic paradigm, but it cannot be merely considered as the neurobiological facet of holism as opposed to reductionism.
Neuroheuristics (or neuristics) studies the dynamic relations within neuroscientific knowledge, using a transdisciplinary studies approach. It was proposed by Alessandro Villa in 2000. The research framework introduced by the neuroheuristic paradigm appears as an essential step for the investigation of the information processing effected by the brain because it is the outcome of nature and nurture, at the crossing of top-down and bottom-up design. Neurobiologists apply a bottom-up research strategy in their studies. This strategy has been able to describe a simple organism's nervous system , such as Caenorhabditis elegans. However , it would be impossible to simultaneously examine all neurons and all variables . This limits the value experimentation using this method could provide. The top-down strategy with the assistance of black box theory appears easier to complete, but inappropriate for understanding the mechanisms which coordinate neurons . The paradigm offers a needed and possibly distinct approach to the study of brain and mind.

Dynamics is an essential feature of the neuroheuristic paradigm, but it is more than just the neurobiological facet of holism as opposed to reductionism.
