Being there : putting brain, body, and world together again
Brain, body and world are united in a complex dance of circular causation and extended computational activity. In Being There, Andy Clark weaves these several threads into a whole and goes on to address foundational questions concerning the new tools and techniques needed to make sense of the emerging sciences of the embodied mind. Clark brings together ideas and techniques from robotics, neuroscience, infant psychology and artificial intelligence. He addresses a broad range of adaptive behaviours, from cockroach locomotion to the role of linguistic artifacts in higher-level thought
