Episode Does the Mind Need a Body? Cover

Does the Mind Need a Body?

Most of us take it for granted that our thoughts have meaning. You can think about a dog, a holiday, or the square root of 144 — and somehow, your brain just gets it. Cognitive science has long explained this by saying the brain uses internal representations: mental models that stand in for things in the world. But not everyone agrees. Some researchers say we’ve got it backwards — that meaning doesn’t come from internal models, but from how we move through and interact with the world. So which is it? Are our minds built on internal maps — or is meaning something we do, not something we store? This is a public episode.

Episode Does your Brain Represent the Outside World? Cover

Does your Brain Represent the Outside World?

When you see a dog, something happens in your brain. A pattern of activity fires, and somehow, that pattern feels like it means something. Cognitive scientists often say that your brain “represents” things — objects, ideas, emotions, and dogs. Representations is how we explain perception, memory, language, and thought. But not everyone agrees that this idea holds up. Some say the notion of representation is more metaphor than mechanism. So what does it really mean to say your brain represents something? And is it the right way to think about what the brain does? This is a public episode.
