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 👇 doi.org/10.1111/psyp...

This study bridges brain and body through ecological psychology and neuroscience by demonstrating how ecological information—in this case, “time to contact” or tau—constrains brain activity and as mu...

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. Open access in Topoi: doi.org/10.1007/s112...

Scaling-Up Behavior Settings: An Ecological Approach to Cognitive Institutions - Topoi

Barker’s notion of “behavior settings” has been fruitfully used in Gibsonian ecological psychology to highlight the importance of place and to account for how perception–action of affordances is socio...

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...

Radical Embodied Cognition as Non-ideal Theory - Topoi

Philosophy of mind and cognition, radical embodied cognition not excluded, has missed the descriptive mark by abstracting away from race, gender, (dis)ability and similar social realities in understan...

@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 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Farewell to Dimensions of Radical Embodiment 3 at the University of Southern Denmark Once again, this was a lot of fun! Some photos here radicalembodiment3.github.io/gallery/ 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’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!
