  1. Does what we want influence what we see?Bence Nanay - 2006 - In Ron Sun & Naomi Miyake (eds.), Proceedings of the 28th Annual Conference of the Cognitive Science Society. CPC Press.
    I aim to show that the content of our perceptual states depends counterfactually on the action we want to perform. Most philosophical and psychological theories of perception claim or at least assume the opposite: they conceive of perception as allpurpose: what we want to do does not influence what we see. I will argue that the content of one's perceptual state does vary as the action one is inclined to perform varies. To put it very simply, what we see does (...)

  • Pointing: A Gesture that Makes Us Special?Massimiliano Lorenzo Cappuccio - 2013 - Humana Mente 6 (24).
    We call those gestures “instrumental” that can enhance certain thinking processes of an agent by offering him representational models of his actions in a virtual space of imaginary performative possibilities. We argue that pointing is an instrumental gesture in that it represents geometrical information on one’s own gaze direction, and provides a ritualized template for initiating gaze coordination and joint attention. We counter two possible objections, asserting respectively that the representational content of pointing is not constitutive, but derived from language, (...)

  • Being Somewhere. Egocentic spatial representation as self-representation.Ferdinand Pöhlmann - 2017 - Stuttgart: J.B. Metzler.
    Ferdinand Pöhlmann argues that a sense of one’s own basic abilities to move is a constitutive condition on the ability to perceive the world spatially. This constitutive relation explains why egocentric spatial representation is to be regarded as a kind of self-representation. In arguing for these claims, conceptual as well as empirical questions are discussed and an overview of accounts that take action as a constitutive condition on spatial representation is given. The picture that emerges is linked to the phenomenological (...)

  • Attention, Consciousness, and the Damaged Brain:Insights From Parietal Neglect and Extinction.Jason Mattingley - 1999 - PSYCHE: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Research On Consciousness 5.
    Milner and Goodale's model of the primate cortical visual system has been justly influential in shaping recent empirical and theoretical work on the neural basis of conscious vision. In this commentary I examine the extent to which their model accounts for recent neuropsychological findings from patients with visual neglect and extinction, two profound disorders of visual consciousness that arise after unilateral brain damage. I begin by outlining two key claims from their model: first, that the characteristic loss of awareness for (...)

  • The epistemic status of reflective beliefs.Tomoji Shogenji - manuscript
    This paper examines the epistemic status of the reflective belief about the content of one’s own conscious mental state, with emphasis on perceptual experience. I propose that the process that gives a special epistemic status to a reflective belief is not observation, inference, or conceptual articulation, but semantic ascent similar to the transition from a sentence in the object language to a sentence in the meta-language that affirms the truth of the original sentence. This account of the process of reflection (...)

  • The forgotten hemisphere: right-hemispheric contributions to modality-independent phonological aspects of language processing in the healthy human brain.Gesa Hartwigsen - 2010 - Dissertation, Christian-Albrechts-Universität Zu Kiel
    This thesis investigates the representation of phonological language aspects in the healthy human brain, especially the contribution of the right hemisphere. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), it is demonstrated that the left and right supramarginal gyri are essential for phonological processing. It is also shown that the left as well as the right posterior inferior frontal gyri contribute to efficient phonological decisions. Finally, an fMRI study reveals a frontal network for phonological aspects of language (...)

  • Emotion and Action.Elisabeth Pacherie - 2002 - European Review of Philosophy 5:55-90.
    The purpose of this paper is to explore the question whether and in what sense emotions might be said to provide reasons for actions or to rationalize them. This requires that one have a picture of the causal structure of actions that is sufficiently detailed for one to see how emotions can impinge on the proc-ess of action production. I present a two-tiered model of action explanation and try to exploit this model in a tentative account of the modes of (...)

  • What will you do to me when you see me? Perception as searching for affordances in the environment.Andrzej Klawiter - 2012 - Avant: Trends in Interdisciplinary Studies 3 (2):11-16.
    Contemporary research on action-perception coupling draws on Gibson's concept of affordances. The text outlines the conceptual basis of this issue, showing how the notion of affordance is embraced in the theory of perception, understood as an active search for structured information that could improve the functioning of the organism in the environment. It also mentions a philosophical parallel (Martin Heidegger's philosophy of tools) and concludes that the intuitions behind the concept of affordances have been more inspiring to cognitive scientists, neuroscientists (...)

  • Neuropsychological Analogies Of Inattentional Blindness.Glyn Humphreys - 2000 - PSYCHE: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Research On Consciousness 6.
    I discuss the relations between the phenomenon of inattentional blindness and neuropsychological syndromes such as visual neglect, extinction and simultanagnosia. While there are similarities in the types of unconscious processing apparent in inattentional blindness and in these syndromes, there are also differences - for instance, grouping affects the reportability of stimuli in some neuropsychological syndromes but not necessarily in inattentional blindness. The reasons for such discrepancies, and the link between unconscious processing and underlying neural structures are discussed.

  • Precis of Ways of Seeing, the Scope and Limits of Visual Cognition.Pierre Jacob & Marc Jeannerod - 2007 - PSYCHE: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Research On Consciousness 13.
    Human vision raises a number of puzzles. Among them are the puzzles of visual experience: how to provide a scientific understanding of the phenomenal character of the visual experiences of the shapes, textures, colors, orientations and motion of perceived objects? How can a purely subjective visual experience be the basis of so much objective knowledge of the world? Visually guided actions raise a different puzzle: how can actions directed towards a target be so accurate in the absence of the agent’s (...)

  • Phenomenal space and the unity of conscious experience.Douglas B. Meehan - 2003 - PSYCHE: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Research On Consciousness 9.
    One's contemporaneous conscious mental states seem bound in a single, unified experience. Dainton argues, against what he calls the S-Thesis, that we cannot explain such co-consciousness in terms of states' being located in a single phenomenal space, a functional space posited to explain our ability to locate ourselves relative to perceived stimuli. But Dainton's argument rests on a conflation of egocentric and allocentric self-localizing, and thus fails to undermine the S-Thesis. Nevertheless, experiments on visual neglect suggest one can have unconscious (...)

  • Spatial Remapping Mechanisms and their impairments in patients with right parietal lesions.Leandra Bucher - unknown
    We analysed location priming effects, and thus the ability to integrate visual information across subsequent trials in the three studies presented in the following chapters. Based on previous findings in healthy subjects priming effects occur under conditions that require no attentional shifts in-between subsequent trials, i.e. with the subject’s fixation maintained and the search displays presented at retinotopically equal locations with respect to the fixation cross. In study 1 we tested whether location-based priming effects would outlive spatial shifts of attention (...)

  • A Dichotomous Visual Brain?Marc Jeannerod - 1999 - PSYCHE: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Research On Consciousness 5.
    Recent experiments in normal subjects using neuroimaging demonstrate that the dorsal cortico-cortical pathway is involved during purely perceptual activities. Pathological cases with right posterior parietal lesions show deficits in visuospatial perception. It is argued that the radical dichotomy between perception and action pathways, as heralded in Milner and Goodale's book should be reexamined. The idea of distributed networks using resources in both visual pathways and recruited as a function of task demands is presented.

  • Of Two Minds About Two Visual Systems.Oliver Turnbull - 1999 - PSYCHE: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Research On Consciousness 5.
    Milner and Goodale's work stands squarely at the centre of the debate on 'two cortical visual systems', and is often seen as offering a reinterpretation of the classic Ungerleider and Mishkin account of visual specialisation. Several 'problems' with this original account are presented, including reviewing the work in the context of the history of human neuropsychology. However, is argued that Milner and Goodale's reinterpretation offers much that is advantagous to our understanding of extra-striate cortical specialisation. In particular, the possible role (...)

  • Where to Begin? Eye-Movement When Drawing.Bryan John Maycock, Geniva Liu & Raymond M. Klein - 2009 - Journal of Research Practice 5 (2):Article M3.
    For over a century, drawing from observation, at least at the introductory level, has been integral to many secondary and most post-secondary art school programs in Europe and North America. Its place in such programs is understood to develop an ability to see and interpret on a flat surface the real, three-dimensional world; this skill, in turn, provides support to related mental processes such as memory, visualization, and imagination. Where an artist looks when drawing from observation may not be arbitrary (...)

  • Toward a dynamic theory of intentions.Elisabeth Pacherie - 2004 - In Susan Pockett (ed.), Does consciousness cause behaviour? Mit Press.
    In this paper, I shall offer a sketch of a dynamic theory of intentions. I shall argue that several categories or forms of intentions should be distinguished based on their different (and complementary) functional roles and on the different contents or types of contents they involve. I shall further argue that an adequate account of the distinctive nature of actions and of their various grades of intentionality depends on a large part on a proper understanding of the dynamic transitions among (...)
