Abstract

Over the past decade, developments of thinking within the field of consciousness studies include the position of embodied consciousness, understood to mean either that consciousness is not only related to the brain but that other parts of the body are involved in consciousness as well, or, in a more moderate form, that ‘embodied mental capacities are ones that depend on mental representations or processes that relate to the body’ (Prinz, 2008, p. 419).
