Parity Cuts Both Ways: Split Brains and Extended Cognition.

Opponents of the hypothesis of extended cognition believe that there is something special about brain processes. I challenge this belief in the importance of brain activity by examining some of the research into so-called 'split-brain syndrome'. People who do not have a functioning corpus callosum s...

        Opponents of the hypothesis of extended cognition believe that there is something special about brain processes. I challenge this belief in the importance of brain activity by examining some of the research into so-called 'split-brain syndrome'. People who do not have a functioning corpus callosum sometimes compensate by using a technique called 'cross-cueing', which is no more than talking or gesturing to yourself. I argue that since the function of this part of the brain can be taken over by 'external' channels, there is no reason to think that there is any significance to the brain's carrying out the function.
        Los detractores de la hipótesis de la cognición extendida creen que los procesos cerebrales son especiales. Planteo una objeción a esta creencia en la importancia de la actividad del cerebro basada en el examen de las investigaciones sobre el llamado 'síndrome de cerebro dividido'. Las personas que no tienen un cuerpo calloso que funcione a veces compensan ese déficit utilizando una técnica llamada 'cross-cueing', que no es más que hablar o gesticular con uno mismo. Sostengo que, dado que la función de esta parte del cerebro puede ser asumida por canales 'externos', no hay razones para pensar que haya algo significativo en el hecho de que el cerebro lleva a cabo la función.
