""Nature appears to have built the apparatus of rationality not just on top of the apparatus of biological regulation, but also from it and with it.""
""Music is an 'embodied' experience, referring to physically sensing the music in our body or moving our body in response to the music.""
The brain's subconscious areas communicate their importance through bodily signals, influencing cognition. Music is described as an embodied experience, involving both physical sensation and mental engagement. This connection highlights the inseparability of the brain and body in cognitive processes. Antonio Damasio's research supports the idea that rational thinking is rooted in biological regulation. Historical perspectives from Spinoza and Descartes illustrate the ongoing debate about the relationship between mind and body, with Damasio's findings reinforcing the notion that cognition is deeply intertwined with physical existence.
