The brain a geometry engine
Psychol Res.
1990.
Abstract
According to Kant, spacetime is a form of the mind. If so, the brain must be a geometry engine. This idea is taken seriously, and consequently the implementation of space and time in terms of machines is considered. This enables one to conceive of spacetime as really "embodied."
