‘Sensorimotor Theory’ offers a new enactive approach to perception that emphasises the role of motor actions and their effect on sensory stimuli. The seminal publication that launched the field is the target paper co-authored by J. Kevin O’Regan and Alva Noe and published in Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS) for open peer commentary in 2001 [27].read more

A sensorimotor account of vision and visual consciousness-Authors' Response-Acting out our sensory experience
J. Kevin O'Regan,Alva Noë +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose that the brain produces an internal representation of the world, and the activation of this internal representation is assumed to give rise to the experience of seeing, but it leaves unexplained how the existence of such a detailed internal representation might produce visual consciousness.

The conscious mind: In search of a fundamental theory
TL;DR: In this article, a clutch of '-isms' characterises the approach to consciousness which David Chalmers defends: dualism, epiphenomenalism, functionalism, anti-reductionism, and -probably -panpsychism.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Conscious Mind
TL;DR: The Field Guide exhibition as discussed by the authors explores the nature of art and the conceptual process through a multimedia installation that also reflects upon temporality, art history, ecology and science, and explores the evanescence of these views is echoed in pristine impressions of filtered dust and shimmering milkweed assemblages contained in Plexiglas light boxes.

The enactive approach to architectural experience: A neurophysiological perspective on embodiment, motivation, and affordances
TL;DR: The outlined model of architectural subject in enactive terms—that is, a model of a human being as embodied, enactive, and situated agent, is proposed as a basis of neuroscientific and phenomenological interpretation of architectural experience.

The effects of mental rotation on computational thinking
Giuseppe Città,Manuel Gentile,Mario Allegra,Marco Arrigo,Daniela Conti,Simona Ottaviano,Francesco Reale,Marinella Sciortino +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the role and action of spatial reasoning and the effects of mental rotation on computational thinking within an embodied and enacted perspective were investigated. And the findings reveal a positive correlation between computational thinking skill and mental rotation ability.

Book
The Ecological Approach to Visual Perception
TL;DR: The relationship between Stimulation and Stimulus Information for visual perception is discussed in detail in this article, where the authors also present experimental evidence for direct perception of motion in the world and movement of the self.
Journal ArticleDOI
What is it like to be a bat
TL;DR: Consciousness is what makes the mind-body problem really intractable as mentioned in this paper, which is why current discussions of the problem give it little attention or get it obviously wrong.
Book
The Embodied Mind: Cognitive Science and Human Experience
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the role of reflection in the analysis of experience, experimentation and experiential analysis, and define the enactive approach, enactive cognitive science.
Journal ArticleDOI
Minds, brains, and programs
TL;DR: Only a machine could think, and only very special kinds of machines, namely brains and machines with internal causal powers equivalent to those of brains, and no program by itself is sufficient for thinking.
Book
Minds, Brains, and Programs
TL;DR: In this article, the main argument of this paper is directed at establishing this claim and the form of the argument is to show how a human agent could instantiate the program and still not have the relevant intentionality.
