From: "Mckee, Keira (ELS)" 

[....] a special issue we have recently published in
Studies in History and Philosophy of Biological and Biomedical Sciences
entitled 'The Brain in a Vat'.
This volume is a series of articles tracing the uniquely pervasive =
metaphor
of the brain in a vat in history, philosophy, neuroscience, medicine,
art,
and digital culture. The issue looks at the roles of the disembodied
brain
in the sceptical arguments of analytical philosophy, in the development
of
artificial intelligence, and in the promises of immortality held out by
cryonics. It considers the enduring theme of brains without bodies in
science fiction and its varied manifestations, from nineteenth-century
surrealism to modern cyberpunk. A unique analysis, including the work of
major visual artists, of modern and historical metaphors of mind and =
brain.

The issue can be viewed online via ScienceDirect at
