This page covers biological principles of embodiment.

== Overview ==

* body plays significant roles for the brain:
** it creates natural internal motivation
** body manages sensors and effectors as one coordinated organism, which is a step to create the identity
** body connects mind to external environment
* embodiment means connecting mind to body
** body is a platform to create identity, because it is coordinated system of effectors
** aggregating streams allow to connect abstracts to subsymbolic representations, filling abstracts with actual meaning
** mind affects itself directly and via the body (e.g. mind -> hypothalamus -> hormones -> body -> mind)
