Fascinating and collaborative MMCR effort at answering profound questions of the embodied aspects of cognition in a predictive processing framework! Well done team!
Dr. Kelsey Perrykkad@kelseyperrykkad8 Feb 2023
This paper, led by @mr_corcorana and our collaborative team at @MMConsciousness, looks at how heart rhythms in utero may scaffold other cognitive processes, as a diachronic embodied account from predictive processing. Lots of food for thought thanks to my brilliant coauthors!
