Whatever Next? Predictive Brains, Situated Agents, and the Future of Cognitive Science
Coming soon in Behavioral and Brain Sciences – a target article by Andy Clark: Abstract: Brains, it has recently been argued, are essentially prediction machines. They are bundles of cells that support perception and action by constantly attempting to match incoming sensory inputs with top-down expectations or predictions. This is achieved using a hierarchical generative model that aims…
Cognitive Spread: Under What Conditions Does the Mind Extend Beyond the Body?
This from the European Journal of Philosophy. Unfortunately, the citation – Fisher, J. (2009), ‘Critical Notice of The Bounds of Cognition’, Journal of Mind and Brain, 29: 345–57. should be: Fisher, J.

Towards an externalist neuroeconomics
Here is a recent paper kindly brought to my attention by the author. To achieve the aim of establishing the case for externalist neuroeconomics, I rely on other approaches to externalism in the cognitive sciences which focus on the role of external causal processes establishing mental phenomena in terms of interactions between neuronal states and…
