Intentional action and the post-coma patient
The presence or absence of intentional action plays an important role in the clinical diagnosis of patients emerging from coma states. Judgments about a patient’s capacity for intentional action have traditionally focused on the nature of their bodily movements, but recent neuroimaging data suggests that brain activity can be indicative of intentional action. I will suggest that this change of ...
متن کاملGlobal Functional Disconnections in Post-anoxic Coma Patient.
Disorders of consciousness have been related to different disconnection patterns as assessed by neuroimaging tools such as PET or fMRI. In this report, we use resting-state functional MRI acquisition and a functional connectivity analysis by graph of brain networks, to investigate the global residual connection pattern in a patient with consciousness disorders following post-anoxic injury. We t...
متن کاملPerspective Intentional Action 1 Running Head: PERSPECTIVE INTENTIONAL ACTION Perspective in Intentional Action Attribution: Reversing the Side-Effect Effect
Empirically minded researchers (e.g., experimental philosophers) have begun exploring the “folk” notion of intentional action, often with surprising results. We extend these lines of research and present evidence from a new paradigm in experimental philosophy using some methods of behavioral economics. Our experiments indicate that in some circumstances people make strikingly different judgment...
متن کاملDynamics, Agency and Intentional Action
The complex systems approach to cognitive science invites a new understanding of extended cognitive systems. According to this understanding, extended cognitive systems are heterogenous, composed of brain, body, and niche, non-linearly coupled to one another. In our previous work, we have argued that this view of cognitive systems, as non-linearly coupled brain-body-niche systems, promises conc...
متن کاملPlanning and representing intentional action.
This paper reviews recent approaches to human action planning and the cognitive representation of intentional actions. Evidence suggests that action planning takes place in terms of anticipated features of the intended goal, that is, in terms of action effects. These effects are acquired from early infancy on by registering contingencies between movements and perceptual movement outcomes. Co-oc...
