Michael Mannino discusses ‘embodied cognition,’ the idea that the mind is not only connected to the body, but that the body influences the mind. His work explores the notion that who you are (your cognitive processes like perception, attention, memory, decision making, reason) has a lot to do with the body and how you move it.


In This Episode We Discussed:





  • Why studying the brain is different than studying a computer




  • How brain and mind affect each other




  • The relationship between movement and cognition
