The objective of "bodily integration of technique" workshop, organized in the framework of Défi Sens (CNRS) was to develop a multidisciplinary approach (physiology, robotics and anthropology) of the relationships between body and technology taking as an example the prostheses for the compensation of sensorimotor disabilities.
Since adaptation involves the careful tuning of functions at every level, from molecule to cell to tissue to organ to overall bodily integration, the failure of adaptation necessarily will take place at all of these levels as well.
Where faith traditions privilege bodily integrity, cosmological integration, rapid burial, or prolonged rituals of grieving (as may be the case with both eastern and Abrahamic faith traditions), there may be less support for the application of biotechnology at the end of life and for organ donation.
Whatever integration of bodily functions remains is maintained by external supports and by bodily systems other than the brain, which merely preserves consciousness (Bartlett and Youngner 1988, 205 6).
Integration of bodily pain assessments can be informative for evaluation, diagnosis, and management of TMD.
The reviewed literature and our classification of these studies along the dimensions of task integration and bodily engagement allow us to formulate recommendations concerning the design of embodied learning settings.
The two dimensions for EC research, task integration and bodily engagement, can be used to distinguish embodiment interventions on a theoretical level while also providing guidance for instructional designers aiming to apply EC findings.
Although the diagram in Fig. 1 appears to sharply divide the four combinations of factors, the dimensions should be regarded as continuous and the case may be made for regarding the boundaries as fuzzy; leading to intermediate forms of task integration and bodily engagement.
These include, for instance, the integration of bodily symptoms and longitudinal studies with repeated assessments to monitor the development of chronic FNS.
This account predicts that shifting individuals away from an analytical into an experiential mode of processing will interrupt ruminative thinking and provide an opportunity for the direct processing and integration of bodily and emotional cues that were previously avoided.
In Sweden similar principles of physical regeneration, though with less nationalistic fervour, were developed independently by Per Henrik Ling, who emphasized the integration of perfect bodily development with muscular beauty.
