1. Much of the philosophical work that may have anything to do with cognitive science is not exactly recent, but quite age-old. Christof Koch, one of the leading cognitive scientists of the day says that we 'see with our brains', implying that perception is not simply explicable by the optics of the situation, but involves substantial neural computation. Immanuel Kant in the 1700s took such a stand (though not on anatomical grounds) that perception involves subjective inner states and said ""It remains completely unknown to us what objects may be by themselves and apart from the receptivity of our senses. We know nothing but our manner or perceiving them; that manner being peculiar to us, and not necessarily shared by every being, though, no doubt, by every human being"
We may say that there is no recent, fresh, contemporary input from philosophy that especially drives neuroscience today. It is just that some findings happen to correspond to the speculations of classical philosophers.
2. The credit for systematizing the field is deserved by physicists more than philosophers. Without the work of Helmholtz and other early founders of psychophysics, many of the experimental paradigms which are still the mainstay of cognitive science, might never have been developed.

Pattern recognition
According to Voltaire, "If there were no god, it would be necessary to invent one.”The human mind seems to have developed uncanny capacity of discover patterns in their environment; evolutionarily this makes sense, as recognition of patterns of danger can prolong life and enhance chances of reproduction. Maybe the human mind creates a god, in a desperate attempt to categorize those events, which its limited capacity cannot comport to a logical, discernable pattern. The discussion of the phenomena of human belief in god is interesting and relevant because every human culture seems to worship some type of deity.

My Opinion about God
According to me god does exists, but it's not the one who created us, in fact its human being that created the god. From the very beginning of human life, human consciousness as well as sub consciousness created god because of need, need to overcome his fear, need to explain the unexplained. The root cause of creation of god is human need. Thus, god is brainchild of human mind. And since we have created him, it's obvious that HE exists and will keep on existing since we need HIM. There might be some force who have created the entire universe and beyond but the "GOD" that we are talking about is certainly not this force. Please do not mix our concept of GOD and the creation of universe. God is only as much universal as we can think HE is. The existence of god is certainly beneficial for human kind and this thing should be realized and respected. Human being if somehow learn to control himself, learn not to go wrong if have powers and learn to respect and adore other human beings, then friends I think that there would be no need of GOD. Otherwise, god is a pretty cool and amazing idea...
