This contribution delves into the institution of interdisciplinarity, in the light of Cognitive Motor Training, through an exploration of epistemic devices to reflect on issues relating to interdisciplinarity, disability, inclusion and the construct of Knowing to educate. The aim of the research is to reflect:

1. on the web of complexity that supports inclusion and scientific evolution;
2. on how, epistemologically , the complex epistemological process is vitalised;
3. on narrating how transdisciplinarity combines neuro-activation, Cognitive Motor Training and Inclusion through the aphorism of "Knowing to educate".

In particular, the need for a complex epistemic substratum emerges to dynamize transdisciplinarity in the inclusive dimensions inherent to the humanization process.
