Professor
Cognitive and Information Sciences
I am a professor in the the departments of Cognitive and Information Sciences and Philosophy. I study the relationship between the dynamics of consciousness and the dynamics of neural activity in an embodied brain. As part of this, I model neural networks (I am the creator of Simbrain, www.simbrain.net), create mathematical models of embodied agents, and study Husserl (see Husserl.net, which I maintain). I have many other projects besides...I just can't help myself, I find almost everything to be interesting! A broad theme in all my work is finding ways to visualize complex processes to facilitate scientific reasoning and education.
