SUMMARY:EMBODIED COGNITION AND PROSTHETICS: ARE OUR TOOLS PART OF OU
 R BODIES AND MINDS?
DESCRIPTION:Embodied cognition theorists emphasize the role of the body 
 and the environment in constituting mental processes. Throug
 h examining how our brains interact with the rest of our bod
 ies and how our entire bodies interact with the environment\,
  we can learn much about human behavior and the human mind. 
 Tools can be understood as extensions of the body\, and in so
 me cases as becoming part of the body. Does our mind extend 
 to our tools? How does this change our world? How should we 
 understand this relationship? In order to help us think thro
 ugh these fascinating questions\, we will hear from an archae
 ologist who has theorized about the evolution of this human 
 capacity\, a biomedical engineer who uses computers to make r
 obotic prostheses more fluidly extend human bodies\, and a mu
 sic theorist who shows how musical instruments become part o
 f our bodies.
