Abstract
For the dynamical hypothesis to be defended as a viable alternative to a co mputational perspective an natural cognition, the role of biological constr aints needs to be considered. This task requires a detailed understanding o f the structural organization and function of the dynamic nervous system, a s well as a theoretical approach that grounds cognitive activity within the constraints of organism and ecological context.
