Neuropsychological servosystems, consciousness, and the problem of embodiment

Behav Sci. 1976 May;21(3):139-60. doi: 10.1002/bs.3830210302.

Abstract

Recent work in neurophysiology has begun to close the paradigmatic gap between neurophysiology and the psychology of embodied behavior and movement. The present paper surveys these developments, traces the origins of the split between neurophysiology and neuropsychology and suggests that recent work by Pribram may provide a link between the psychology of consciousness, the neurophysiology of movement, and the growing body of work on nonverbal communication.
