John Vervaeke - What is Cognitive Science?
cognition can be seen as a multiscale web of dynamic information processing distributed across a vast array of complex cellular (e.g., neuronal, immune, and others) and network systems, operating across the entire body, and not just in the brain.
The brain is not mental! coupling neuronal and immune cellular processing in human organisms
Mary Martin added
Ultimately, shifting the focus from neural to cellular processing invites us to reconsider the received idea that cognitive processes can be linked solely to the neural system, and that the brain is somehow the natural home of mental states.
Our language-based theories of how our minds work don't often succeed in explaining how our minds actually work, for so many layers of the mind's operations occur prior to the stories and explanations we offer with language. Neuroscience is helpful in capturing more subconscious processes.

Neuroscience now recognizes that the brain and the body are so intimately intertwined that they cannot be thought of separately.
Embodiment
the brain likely evolved to deal with the informational complexity of navigating and coordinating social relationships. If that’s true, she said, cognitive neuroscience that ignores sociality is probably pointless.

Cognition, in this view, is a dynamical process that happens not only within and between brains, but across a variety of biological, behavioural and social levels of organisation.

As its goal is to take neuroscience out of the lab and into the real world, applied neuroscience draws knowledge from many areas of science, from psychology to molecular biology.

Anne-Laure Le Cunff added
Cognitive psychology is the basic science of understanding how the mind works, conducting empirical research into how people perceive, remember, and think.
Henry L. Roediger III • Make It Stick
Collective neuroscience offers a different way of seeing neuropsychiatric conditions such as depression and schizophrenia, for example – not as instances of individual ‘dysfunctions’ in the brain, but as phenomena that emerge from multiple dynamic physiological and social processes. How does one get to the bottom of human cognition if we are intrin... See more
