Abstract
This paper explores the crucial connection between the brain and other organs of the body and the concept of embodied sensorimotor contingencies. Our contention is this: enactivism in all its forms reverses the conventional order of things. It is not the embodied sensorimotor actions that shape and configure brain patterns, but rather the "brainets" (synchronizations of neural activities between different brains) that configure or shape a physical and biological body ("Körper") as a living body ("Leib").
