2010 E. Paolo, M. Rohde, H. Jaegher
What is the enactive approach to cognition? Over the last 15 years this banner has grown to become a respectable alternative to traditional frameworks in cognitive science.

This paper elaborates on the core ideas that define the enactive approach and their implications: autonomy,...
Embodying Cognition
IGI Global eBooks 2010 David Casacuberta, Saray Ayala, Jordi Vallverdu 10 citations
After several decades of success in different areas and numerous effective applications, algorithmic Artificial Intelligence has revealed its limitations. If in our quest for artificial intelligence we want to understand natural forms of intelligence, we need to shift/move from platform-free algorithms to embodied and embedded agents. Under the embodied perspective, intelligence is not so much...

Life Goes on in Dreams
Sleep 2010 Sophie Schwartz 5 citations
WHAT GOES THROUGH OUR MINDS WHILE WE FALL ASLEEP? AT SLEEP ONSET, STUDENTS PREPARING FOR EXAMS COMMONLY RE-EXPERIENCE SOME OF the material they have been revising during the day; lovers have pervasive thoughts about their romantic partner; software developers may see bits of programming codes unfold in their mind's eye.

The mesmerists inquire about "Oriental mind powers": West meets East in the search for the universal trance.
Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences 2010 David T Schmit
Contemporary interest in Asian meditation raises questions about when Westerners began investigating these practices. A synopsis of Western-originating scientific meditation research is followed by a brief introduction to mesmerism. Next, the unappreciated ways the mesmerists explored Oriental mind powers is recounted. How the mesmerists' cultural positioning, philosophy, and interest in...
Nonlocality and exceptional experiences: a study of genius, religious epiphany, and the psychic.
Explore 2010 Stephan A. Schwartz
Two hundred years of reductive materialism has failed to explain the extraordinary experiences we know as moments of genius, religious epiphany, and psychic insight. This paper proposes that these three experiences are in essence the same experience, differentiated only by intention and context. It reaches this conclusion based on well-conducted experimental research across the continuum of...

Kant never used the concept of consciousness in the now dominant sense of phenomenal qualia; his discussions of the mind-body problem...
