This volume is the most recent outcome in the field of bioeducational research, an emergent entanglement of study opened by the main Author encouraging the dialogue between education, psychology, neuroscience and biological sciences.

The links are highlighted between neural, social, evolutive and contextual basis of cognition, body schemata representations, embodied cognition, cognitive modifiability and educability, perceptual intelligence and neural modelling for educational design and brain development in learning environments.
