"If we ask ourselves candidly 'what has neuroscience taught us about cognition that we did not already know from behavior?' we realize that unfortunately the answer is 'not very much.'" (Niv, 2021)
I'm curious about what's the general take in the field about this claim 🤔
@braininspired.bsky.social talks to @dewitmm.bsky.social, Luis Favela and @diovicen.bsky.social about the trend of neuroscientists importing concepts from ecological psychology, how an organism’s interactions with its environment explains perception and action.

I like the idea of the book. Indeed, ecological resonance is pretty much about it.
Now, unpopular opinion: ecological psychology is not a form of anti-representationalism. I say more: representations are NOT (or, at least, should NOT be) a relevant topic within the ecological approach.
Luis Favela, @dewitmm.bsky.social, and yours truly talked to @braininspired.bsky.social about ecological neuroscience. Among other things, we tried to comment on how to make "affordances" and "ecological information" helpful for neuroscientists. Check it out!

Luis Favela and I just finished editing a special issue on dynamical cognitive science for topiCS. The great contributors of the issue talk a little bit about what happened in the last 30 years, where we are now, and where we are heading to.
Here's the intro (open access): doi.org/10.1111/tops...
@tonychemero.bsky.social and I have written a short James Gibson's bio for The Palgrave Encyclopaedia for Theoretical and Philosophical Psychology. Check it out! ⬇️

Ah... I'm so invested in what we could call "non-standard approaches to cognition" that I often forget that out there in the real world we still lay comfortably in the arms of Immanuel Kant/René Descartes/pick-your-own-Modern-poison...

We (@edbaggs.bsky.social, @segundo-ortin.bsky.social, @guicogsci.bsky.social, & I) have organised the conference "Dimensions of Radical Embodiment" for the last few years [Stay tuned for the next one!]. And we just edited a special issue around it. Here's the intro: link.springer.com/article/10.1...
