THE SQUIGGLE SENSE

“Taking the animal and environment to form a unified, complex system has two important consequences. First, it makes dynamical systems theory the most natural explanation of action. Indeed, the current attraction to dynamical systems theory in the cognitive sciences has been inspired in large part by the efforts within ecological psychology to develop a non-representational account of perception–action (Kugler, Kelso & Turvey 1980; Kugler & Turvey 1987; Kelso 1995; Kelso & Engstrom 2006; Warren 2006).”
