K_1_13 — Enactivism: Consciousness Through Action and Interaction
Enactivism is a radical approach to cognition and consciousness that rejects the traditional computational model of the mind (the brain as information-processing computer operating on internal representations of the exte
K_1_11 — Dualism: Mind-Body Problem Across Philosophy and Neuroscience
The mind-body problem — the question of how subjective mental experience (consciousness, thought, sensation, emotion) relates to the physical body (brain, nervous system, matter) — is arguably the oldest and most persist
Mind_Body_Healing_Frontier
The scientific investigation of mind-body interactions has progressed from fringe speculation to a major research domain supported by institutional infrastructure (National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health
T_5_03 — Embodied and Social Cognition
Embodied cognition challenges the classical computational model of mind (cognition as abstract symbol manipulation, independent of the body) by proposing that cognitive processes are fundamentally shaped by the body's ph
P_1_19 — Philosophy of Mind
The philosophy of mind is the branch of philosophy that investigates the nature of mental phenomena — consciousness, intentionality, perception, emotion, belief, desire, and their relationship to the physical body and br
K_5_20 — Psychoneuroimmunology: Mind-Body-Immune Connections

K_5_03 — Psychosomatic Medicine and Mind–Body Interaction
Psychosomatic medicine investigates the bidirectional relationship between psychological processes and physical health — how mental states, emotions, beliefs, and social contexts influence bodily disease, and how physica
ZB_1_01 — Animal Cognition — Corvids, Cetaceans, Cephalopods, and Non-Human Minds
