Getting Out of Our Heads, Alva Noë The main obstacle to understanding our human nature is the persistent illusion that each of us is identical to something inside of us (the brain, on most contemporary approaches). In this lecture I explore the idea that we are dynamically distributed, boundary crossing, offloaded, and environmentally situated, by our very nature. What explains our inability until now to understand consciousness is that we've been searching for it in the wrong place. To better understand ourselves, we need to get out of our heads! Alva Noë is a writer and philosopher at UC Berkeley, where he is also a member of the Institute for Cognitive and Brain Sciences and the Center for New Media. For the last decade or so his philosophical practice has concerned perception and consciousness. His current research focus is art and human nature.
