Brain Science Podcast - Embodied Cognition with Lawrence Shapiro (BSP 73)

The Brain Science Podcast is no longer monthly, but it's worth the wait for each new episode. This one is on embodied cognition, one of my favorite topics.

Lawrence Shapiro is Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Wisconsin—Madison, USA. His research currently focuses on the issues and debates around embodied cognition. He is editor (with Brie Gertler) of Arguing About the Mind (2007), and author of the appropriately named Embodied Cognition (2010). You can download most of his papers at his website.

I've included Dr. Campbell's announcements following the podcast, which include info on upcoming episodes and a public appearance.

In his new book Embodied Cognition, Dr. Lawrence Shapiro provides a balanced introduction to embodied cognition's attempts to challenge standard cognitive science. His interview in Episode 73 of the Brain Science Podcast is a discussion of a few of his book's key ideas. It also continues our ongoing exploration of the role of embodiment.
