Reload the mind
Zentao series on paper, Aix-en-Provence, France, 2014
There is a theory that the body shapes the mind: it addresses philosophical questions by appealing to evidence found in experimental psychology, studies of pathologies, developmental psychology, & neuroscience.
There is a consensus across these disciplines that the contribution of embodiment to cognition is inescapable.
However, there is a need to develop a common vocabulary that is capable of integrating discussions of brain mechanisms
in neuroscience.
I have imagined how this vocabulary can be represented & painted.
