Grid Cell Coding and Conceptual Spaces: A Review of the Generalisation Claim

Abstract

There is real interest in grid cell coding and conceptual spaces right now, and real uncertainty about exactly where it delivers the
most value. We pull together the current evidence for grid cell coding and conceptual spaces, covering the methodological,
practical, regulatory and cost angles, with an eye on where practice has genuinely settled and where researchers and reviewers
are still largely working it out for themselves. Selective, context-specific pursuit looks better supported by the evidence gathered
here than either broad rollout or blanket avoidance.
