Abstract
Since the emergence of the study of the brain from artificial neural networks McCulloch & Pitts (1965) and brain Von Neumann architecture (1951), the scientific explanation of how mean the world laid its foundations in the metaphor of the mind understood as brain-computer (Chomsky, 1965). Although the attempt to address the question of meaning from this perspective was auspicious, it is now possible to find obstacles associated with static conception of representation, required a perspective that sees the brain as a dynamic builder of meanings (Varela, Thompson & Rosch, 2005). We present a review of three experimental paradigms which conceive the mind as a space-time, dynamic system where neurodynamics, the N400 component and neuroimaging are the most used today in the study of meaning.
