- The innovative Surfing Uncertainty (2015) is the first to bring research on the predictive mind together with work on embodied cognition. Based on more than five years of research at the interface of philosophy and neuroscience, this substantial volume (at 424pp) upends centuries of received thought about the human mind and presents a radical new thesis of what brains do that places circular causal flows and the active structuring of the environment centre-stage. It is considered a landmark in its articulation of ‘predictive processing’ models of the mind and by the end of 2020 had already been cited 1245 times.
