From Bricks to Brains introduces embodied cognitive science and
illustrates its foundational ideas through the construction and
observation of LEGO Mindstorms robots.
Discussing the characteristics that distinguish embodied
cognitive science from classical cognitive science, the book places
a renewed emphasis on sensing and acting, the importance of
embodiment, the exploration of distributed notions of control, and
the development of theories by synthesizing simple systems and
exploring their behavior. Numerous examples are used to illustrate
a key theme: the importance of an agent's environment. Even simple
agents, such as LEGO robots, are capable of exhibiting complex
behavior when they can sense and affect the world around them.
Michael Dawson is professor of psychology at the University of
Alberta. Brian Dupuis as a research assistant in psychology and
Michael Wilson is a biology undergraduate, both at the University
of Alberta.
