How is it that thoroughly physical material beings such as ourselves can think, dream, feel, create and understand ideas, theories and concepts? An answer to this central question of our existence is emerging at the busy intersection of neuroscience, psychology, artificial intelligence, and robotics.In this groundbreaking work, philosopher and cognitive scientist Andy Clark explores exciting new theories from these fields that reveal minds like ours to be prediction machines - devices that have evolved to anticipate the incoming streams of sensory stimulation before they arrive. How does mere matter give rise to all these non-material mental states, including consciousness itself?
Clark takes us on a journey in discovering the circular causal flows and the These predictions then initiate actions that structure our worlds and alter the very things we need to engage and predict.
