Cognitive Science Research: Extended Mind Themed Issue

Here is my introduction to the themed issue of Cognitive Systems Research. The full collection is now available here.

Extended Mind – Extended Time

Since we’ve been waiting for almost four years!!! for the publication of this collection of papers attached to The Extended Mind II conference held at The University of Hertfordshire in July of ’06, it’s arrival is going to be somewhat underwhelming on the grounds that: (a) most of the papers have been in circulation for…

Mind in Life

Out of Our Heads

In case you haven’t come across this, a posthumous article by Susan Hurley entitled “The shared circuits model (SCM): How control, mirroring, and simulation can enable imitation, deliberation, and mindreading” along with responses, has been posted on Susan’s Memorial Conference website.
