Walter's "Cognitive extension: the parity argument, functionalism, and the mark of the cognitive"

Available online here: http://www.springerlink.com/content/h21565731471r11h/fulltext.pdf;.

Sven has a nice discussion of the use of the Parity Principle.

Check out, as well, the other papers in the issue by my buds, Carl, Larry, Jacqueline, John, Philippe, and Tom.  It was edited by Jacqueline Sullivan.

What C-C Fallacy? 3

Sven Walter and Myriam Kyselo also express skepticism in their critical notice of Bounds:

Although [Adams and Aizawa] present a lot of textual evidence showing that some kind of coupling/constitution reasoning is involved, they overemphasize its role. Although both are crucial features in arguments for EMH, there is no direct inference from coupling to constitution.  (Walter & Kyselo, 2009, p. 280).

Extended Mind and Locked in Syndrome

I recently mentioned locked in Syndrome as a problem for Noë, but there is apparently another take on it discussed in this exchange:

Fenton & Alpert, "Extending Our View on Using BCIs for Locked-in Syndrome"

and

Walter, "Locked-in Syndrome, BCI, and a Confusion about Embodied, Embedded, Extended, and Enacted Cognition"
