You might also be interested in work on "embodied cognition", the idea that the body is integral to our higher-level cognitive functions. Andy Clark has a good book on this called "Supersizing the Mind".

Nice. Very relevant, and a good follow-up. If anyone else is interested, here's the wikipedia article on embodied cognition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embodied_cognition

(One of those nifty wikipedia pages that branches off into many other interesting topics.)
