Biological Life Research

This page covers biological principles of embodiment.

Overview

body plays significant roles for the brain:
- it creates natural internal motivation
- body manages sensors and effectors as one coordinated organism, which is a step to create the identity
- body connects mind to external environment
embodiment means connecting mind to body
- body is a platform to create identity, because it is coordinated system of effectors
- aggregating streams allow to connect abstracts to subsymbolic representations, filling abstracts with actual meaning
- mind affects itself directly and via the body (e.g. mind -> hypothalamus -> hormones -> body -> mind)
