EXTENDED MIND AND EMBODIED COGNITION TOWARDS NEURODYNAMICS OF CONSCIOUSNESS

This article addresses the hypothesis that consciousness neurodynamically manifests itself within cognitive neurosciences, the neuronal processes extending into the body and environment (extended mind theory, including inter-subjectivity). From embodied/embedded cognition, we move to creating artificial awareness (i.e. the technological simulation of consciousness), to unlock the internal mechanisms of the brain that could solve conscience. In this regard, cognitive practices change the individual' cognitive skills this causing the mind to become "extended". According to the extended mind, we argue that the means of knowledge transcend the body and extend in the agent / subject environment (ex. the concept of ecological consciousness).
