Andy Clark (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Clark), Professor of Logic and Metaphysics at Edinburgh argues for the position of the Extended Mind (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Extended_Mind and http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/embodied-cognition/).
In its crudest form the contention here is that our minds are not something confined to what’s going on inside our skulls. As Clark says.. “certain forms of human cognizing include inextricable tangles of feedback, feed-forward and feed-around loops: loops that promiscuously criss-cross the boundaries of brain, body and world.”
This is one of the more recent debates in the perennially fascinating subject of Philosopy of Mind (http://www.rep.routledge.com/article/V038). Fry your brains trying to figure it out.
