Can the mind extend beyond the brain? Can our minds extend into some of the tools we use? The Extended Mind thesis thinks that in some cases it can.
With me to discuss the Extended Mind thesis this week was Prof Mike Wheeler (Stirling) and Dr Tom Roberts (Edinburgh). The show can be downloaded here:
The Extended Mind Show
Also if you would like any more information about the Extended Mind Mike has written brilliant paper "Defending Extended Functionalism":

And a book, "Reconstructing the Cognitive World":
