Enactive Cognition

Enactive cognition research explores how cognition arises from the dynamic interaction between an organism, its body, and its environment, rejecting the notion of internal representations as the primary driver of intelligence. Current research focuses on developing mathematical formalisms to model this embodied interaction, often examining how sensorimotor experiences shape learning and generalization, and investigating the limitations of current AI approaches in capturing this dynamic process. This framework offers a powerful alternative to traditional cognitive models, potentially leading to more robust and human-like AI systems and a deeper understanding of natural intelligence.
