Abstract

Cognition is brain activity. Cartesian ideas of a discontinuity between soul and body, between consciousness and matter, or between cognition and brain seem untenable. Drawing on examples from sensation and visual perception, working memory, and attentional control, we seek to demonstrate how an empirical multidisciplinary approach to classical problems with methods from neurobiology and cognitive psychology increases our understanding. The long-term goal of this approach is to provide systematic explanations for the realization of mental representations and processes in brain tissue.
