Is ecological neuroscience a feasible enterprise? After some theoretical work on ecological resonance, we've engaged on experimental research to test some of the hypotheses that follow from it. These are the first results of (hopefully) many more to come! It's open access 👇

Latest paper co-authored with @guicogsci.bsky.social

We argue that behavior settings and cognitive institutions complement each other and that ecological psychology will profit from integrating cognitive institutions into its conceptual toolkit.

Wouter van Hooydonk worries that radical embodied cognitive science may assume that able white men's bodies are a universal representation of human bodies. He thinks RECS should reject the universalizing attitude and pay more attention to particular cases. doi.org/10.1007/s112...

@moritz-bammel.bsky.social and @guicogsci.bsky.social discuss the possibility of extending radical embodiment to human social collectives. They compare two established approaches: behavior settings theory and the extended cognition notion of cognitive institutions

Sarah Trasmundi discusses whether reading can be reconciled with Gibson’s account of direct perception, and whether imagination can be thought of as an extension of perception.

Farewell to Dimensions of Radical Embodiment 3 at the University of Southern Denmark

Once again, this was a lot of fun!

Any volunteers to host DRE4?

This was a really great workshop! Thanks for organizing!

I gave a talk on: ”Comparing Aggregate versus Process Measures of Eye Movements to Assess Reading Comprehension“. Check out the conference paper for more info: escholarship.org/uc/item/10n8...

I recently composed a syllabus for a course on DST for psychology undergrad students. Feel free to DM me for further info. I‘m also grateful for additional literature suggestions as I found it surprisingly difficult to find recent literature that introduces DST to psychologists in an accessible way.

Though it‘s brain focused and does not cover embodied/ecological approaches, I think some chapters from Pessoa‘s (2022) book provide a good starting point to overcome static, modular thinking and to adopt a complex systems perspective instead: doi.org/10.7551/mitp...

I like this chapter by Moreno et al. (2011) as it introduces DST from a philosophy of science perspective: doi.org/10.1016/B978...

I also like Favela‘s (2020) recent article as it is accessibly written: doi.org/10.1111/phc3...

I’m very happy that our abstract titled ”Ecological Psychology Meets Political Philosophy of Mind“, co-authored with @guicogsci.bsky.social, has been accepted as a talk at Dimensions of Radical Embodiment 3.

Looking forward to my trip Odense!
