| summary | According to the sensorimotor approach, progress toward dissolving the mysteries of consciousness can be made if experience is conceived of as a kind of bodily engagement with the environment, rather than something that happens only in the brain. Specifically, this approach claims that perceptual consciousness depends on implicit mastery of sensorimotor contingencies, the pattern-like ways that sensory inputs change as a function of movement. Since its original philosophical statement (O’Regan and Noë, 2001), the theory has been extended and developed in various ways, resulting in a rich set of empirical and philosophical ideas about conscious experience. The aim of the Workshop is to bring together scientists and philosophers to discuss key issues that a future sensorimotor theory should tackle.
The workshop is part of the FEEL project financed by the European Research Council and hosted by the Laboratory of Perception Psychology of the University Paris Descartes. |
