Neurodynamicist Walter Freeman on globalist vs. modularist approaches to EEG

Walter Freeman (http://sulcus.berkeley.edu/) is very prominent within the neurodynamics  world, but is perhaps not as well known to the neurophenomenology and emobodied cognition communities as he should be. This is possibly because of the forebodingly technical nature of the physics concepts he employs. He told me at a conference some years ago that his views [...]

Modularism vs. globalism in cognitive neuroscience: implications for a science of body-knowledge

Models of how people are able to access physiological state information should take into account a long-running divide in cognitive neuroscience about to what extent explanations, models, and purported mechanisms privilege local, reductionistic, and/or modular theories, as opposed to global and holistic theories that emphasize connectedness with and interdependence of particular systems to the entire [...]
