This is the fourth bimonthly What Are You Working On? thread. Thanks to atucker for reminding me to make this post. Click here to see previous threads. So here's the question:

What are you working on?

Here are some guidelines:

Focus on projects that you have recently made progress on, not projects that you're thinking about doing but haven't started, those are for a different thread.
Why this project and not others? Mention reasons why you're doing the project and/or why others should contribute to your project (if applicable).
Talk about your goals for the project.
Any kind of project is fair game: personal improvement, research project, art project, whatever.
Link to your work if it's linkable.

I've been working on a non-representationalist, non-computationalist, dynamicist account of human cognition for several years. My basic methodology has been to study different areas of empirical psychology and neuroscience and see if I can find any results that look like they won't fit my account. This generally helps me better understand an area. For the past year I've been mostly concentrating on perception and especially vision. I feel like I've made as much progress as I can in that area, and have sufficiently convinced myself that I'm on the right track, and am thinking about what to take on next.

For us lay people, what does it mean for something to be non-representationalist and non-computationalist?
