当代认知科学的一个潜在偏见是，大脑和神经系统是在进行计算和建立表示的业务。相比之下，吉布森的生态学方法是绝对非计算性和非代表性的。那么，我们应该如何解释大脑和神经系统的作用呢？我们考虑这个问题的背景下，证据丰富的成就感知和行动的代理没有大脑或神经系统。如果感知和行动的基本协调不需要神经基质，那么拥有神经基质会增加什么价值？如果神经基质不从事表征计算业务，那么它从事什么业务？我们追求的答案根植于宏观的，多细胞的生命和热力学的约束。
Abstract An underlying bias of contemporary cognitive science is that the brain and nervous system are in the business of carrying out computations and building representations. Gibson’s ecological approach, in contrast, is decidedly noncomputational and nonrepresentational. How, then, are we to construe the role of brain and nervous system? We consider this question against the backdrop of evidence for rich achievements in perception and action by agents without brains or nervous systems. If fundamental coordination of perception and action does not require a neural substrate, then what value is added in having one? And if the neural substrate is not in the representational–computational business, then what business is it in? We pursue answers grounded in the constraints of macroscopic, multicellular life and thermodynamics.
