Principles of Minimal Cognition. Casting Cognition as Sensorimotor Coordination
Abstract
We investigate the notion of minimal cognition, and claim that this notion already applies to bacterial behavior. On the basis of the example of E. coli, we argue that the basis of cognition can be profitably cast as sensorimotor coordinations which subserve the metabolic requirements of organisms.Author's Profile
