The Ecological Brain is the first book of its kind, using complexity science to integrate the seemingly disparate fields of ecological psychology and neuroscience. The book develops a unique framework for unifying investigations and explanations of mind that span brain, body, and environment: the NeuroEcological Nexus Theory (NExT).

Beginning with an introduction to the history of the fields, the author provides an assessment of why ecological psychology and neuroscience are commonly viewed as irreconcilable methods for investigating and explaining cognition, intelligent behavior, and the systems that realize them. The book then progresses to its central aim: presenting a unified investigative and explanatory framework offering concepts, methods, and theories applicable across neural and ecological scales of investigation. By combining the core principles of ecological psychology, neural population dynamics, and synergetics under a unified complexity science approach, NExT offers a compressive investigative framework to explain and understand neural, bodily, and environmental contributions to perception-action and other forms of intelligent behavior and thought.

The book progresses the conversation around the role of brains in ecological psychology, as well as bodies and environments in neuroscience. It is essential reading for all students of ecological psychology, perception, cognitive sciences, and neuroscience, as well as anyone interested in the history and philosophy of the brain/mind sciences and their state-of-the-art methods and theories.

Recenzijos

"The brain is just a brain. It has no function without the body and the environmental niche it occupies. The Ecological Brain is an attempt to explain this trivial yet often neglected embeddedness, integrating recent knowledge from psychology and neuroscience research." György Buzsįki, M.D., Ph.D., Biggs Professor of Neural Sciences, NYU Neuroscience Institute, New York University, USA

"After decades of asking what your heads inside of, ecological psychologists are beginning to ask, what's inside your head? In The Ecological Brain, Luis Favela takes seriously the claim that mind is low-dimensional dynamics in a brain-body-environment system. By synthesizing complexity theory, nonlinear dynamics, and recent work on neural manifolds, he points a way forward for understanding perception and action at neural, organism, and ecological scales." William H. Warren, Chancellors Professor of Cognitive Science, Brown University, USA

Luis H. Favela is Associate Professor of Philosophy and Cognitive Sciences at the University of Central Florida, USA, and is a fellow with the Research Corporation for Science Advancement. His research is interdisciplinary, situated at the intersections of the cognitive sciences, experimental psychology, and the philosophies of mind and science.
