West Court, Edinburgh College of Art

Selected artists from 'The Extended Mind' exhibition in conversation with Talbot Rice Gallery's Assistant Curator James Clegg and Dr. Miranda Anderson, Anniversary Research Fellowship at Stirling and Honourary Fellow, School of History, Classics & Archaeology, University of Edinburgh.

'The Extended Mind' proposes that our cognition – that is our mind, thoughts, reasoning, perception, imagination, intelligence, emotion and experience – does not just take place within our brains. It also takes place through our bodies and the broader world and enabled by all the tools, technologies, institutions, materials and techniques we might use to orientate our understanding of where we are in the world.

'The Extended Mind' is funded by The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC).
