Some theories of embodied cognition propose that perception is contingent upon the
execution of sensorimotor representations [1]. This idea receives support from research on …

Where does thinking or cognition take place? A common answer is that thinking takes place
in the head, or more specifically, in the brain. Cognition is commonly seen as a brain …

Recent experimental research in the field of neurophysiology has led to the discovery of two
classes of visuomotor neurons: canonical neurons and mirror neurons. In light of these …

Decades ago, the sciences of mind were busy drawing insights from computer engineering.
Cognitive scientists reasoned that if a computer can process information in an intelligent …

We propose a new deflationary interpretation for the functional role of mirror neurons
discovered by Rizzolatti and colleagues into the macaque's F5 motor area. Several …

Increasing evidence shows that vision, action and language should not be regarded as a set
of disembodied processes. Instead, they form a closely integrated and highly dynamic …

In this paper, we present a neural architecture aimed to reproduce the qualitative properties
of the mirror neurons system which encodes neural representations of actions either …

Scientific interest in the relationship between cognition and action has increased markedly
in the past several years, fueled by the discovery of mirror neurons in monkey prefrontal and …

John Searle's Chinese Room Argument (CRA) pertains to demonstrate that syntax is not
sufficient for semantics, and that because computation cannot yield understanding, the …

Traditionally, cognition has been considered as a “mental processes” only domain.
Recently, however, there is a growing consensus that cognition should be “embodied”, ie it …
