Perceiving surfaces (and what they depict)

The debate about the differences between seeing objects in a picture and seeing real objects is still open. Understanding this difference means to understand what are the peculiar constraints governing the functioning of our visual system in order to enter the peculiar visual state we are in during picture perception. Depicted objects exhibit shape constancy. Empirical evidence clearly suggests that picture perception is possible even if we are not conscious of either the surface or the depic...

Neurophysiological States and Perceptual Representations: The Case of Action Properties Detected by the Ventro-Dorsal Visual Stream

Philosophers and neuroscientists often suggest that we perceptually represent objects and their properties. However, they start from very different background assumptions when they use the term “perceptual representation”. On the one hand, sometimes philosophers do not need to properly take into consideration the empirical evidence concerning the neural states subserving the representational perceptual processes they are talking about. On the other hand, neuroscientists do not rely on a metic...

How Philosophical Reasoning and Neuroscientific Modeling Come Together

Is there any fruitful interplay between philosophy and neuroscience? In this paper, we provide four case studies showcasing that: (i) Philosophical questions can be tackled by recruiting neuroscientific evidence; (ii) the epistemological reflections of philosophers contribute to tackle some foundational issues of (cognitive) neuroscience. (i) will be supported by the analysis of the literature on picture perception and Molyneux’s question; (ii) will be supported by the analysis of the literat...

Can Our Robots Rely on an Emotionally Charged Vision-for-Action? An Embodied Model for Neurorobotics

The aim of blended cognition is to contribute to the design of more realistic and efficient robots by looking at the way humans can combine several kinds of affective, cognitive, sensorimotor and perceptual representations. This chapter is about vision-for-action. In humans and non-human primates (as well as in most of mammals), motor behavior in general and visuomotor representations for grasping in particular are influenced by emotions and affective perception of the salient properties of t...

A Model for the Interlock Between Propositional and Motor Formats

One of the most important tasks of philosophy of mind is the investigation of the nature of our mental states. However, mental states come in different formats. In this respect, one of the most interesting problems in contemporary philosophy of mind is determining how mental states coming in different formats can interlock. Such a problem has generated two parallel debates, especially when we try to describe the nature of practical knowledge in skilled motor action: the one about Intellectual...
