The "cognitive neuroscience revolution" is not a (Kuhnian) revolution. Evidence from scientometrics

Fueled by the rapid development of neuroscientific tools and techniques, some scholars consid-er the shift from traditional cognitive psychology toward cognitive neuroscience to be a revolution (most notably Boone and Piccinini). However, the term "revolution" in philosophy of science can easily be con-strued as involving a paradigm shift in the sense of Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. Is a Kuhnian account sound in the case at hand? To answer this question, we consider heuristic indicators of two features of paradigm shifts: the incommensurability of ontologies; and a gap between scientific com-munities. Based on our evidence, we argue that no revolution has occurred (at least, not yet).
