What's in this collection:

This is an overview of the roles and functions attributed to sensory and motor experience by the neurosciences, with

a special emphasis on the emergence of the 'enactive perception' approach. I try to show why its important now to engage

crticially with neuroscientific debates in this area for nonscientists; that is for people especially connected to and engaged

with making and analysing contemporary media cultures. Current claims that 'screen media' or 'the internet' are damaging

our brains, often draw upon the 'neural correlates' that underpin such assertions. And yet, neuroscience, too, is a

contested area and nowehere more so than in the way it configures perception in living beings. Read on....

Links to major articles in neuroscience and philsophy on enactive perception
