The primary goal of this essay is to provide a comprehensive overview and analysis of the various relations between material artifacts and the embodied mind. A secondary goal of this essay is to identify some of the trends in the design and use of artifacts. First, based on their functional properties, I identify four categories of artifacts co-opted by the embodied mind, namely (a) embodied artifacts, (b) perceptual artifacts, (c) cognitive artifacts, and (d) affective artifacts. These categories can overlap and so some artifacts are members of more than one category. I also identify some of the techniques (or skills) we use when interacting with artifacts. Identifying these categories of artifacts and techniques allows us to map the landscape of relations between embodied minds and the artifactual world. Second, having identified categories of artifacts and techniques, this essay then outlines some of the trends in the design and use of artifacts, focusing on neuroprosthetics, brain-computer interfaces, and personalization algorithms nudging their users toward particular epistemic paths of information consumption.

各种人工制品：具身、感知、认知和情感

本文的主要目的是对物质人工制品和具身心灵之间的各种关系进行全面的概述和分析。本文的第二个目标是确定工件设计和使用方面的一些趋势。首先，根据它们的功能特性，我确定了四类由具身思维选择的人工制品，即（a）具身人工制品，（b）感知人工制品，（c）认知人工制品和（d）情感人工制品。这些类别可以重叠，因此某些工件是多个类别的成员。我还确定了我们在与工件交互时使用的一些技术（或技能）。识别这些类别的人工制品和技术使我们能够绘制出具身思想与人工制品世界之间关系的图景。第二，
