Eliminativist materialism

Elimative materialism is a very interesting philosophical system[?]. It says that there is only one physical state of the brain. It says that thought, like heat, is dispersed throughout the entire brain. It's not that if one part of the brain is active then the person is thinking a particular thought. Elimative materialism is different from identity theory[?] because elimative materialism believes in only one physical state of the brain, while elimative materialism believes there are two: belief and disbelief. Methodological behaviorism[?] also has a similar resulting philosophy to elimative materialists, but a different method of getting there. Methodological behaviorists believe that we should ignore the science and just see what happens when with stimulus response therapy[?].
