Abstract

The integration of embodied and computational approaches to cognition requires that non-neural body parts be described as parts of a computing system, which realizes cognitive processing. In this paper, based on research about morphological computations and the ecology of vision, I argue that nonneural body parts could be described as parts of a computational system, but they do not realize computation autonomously, only in connection with some kind of-even in the simplest form-central control system. Finally, I integrate the proposal defended in the paper with the contemporary mechanistic approach to wide computation.
