Research
My central area of specialization is cognitive science. Currently in my research I am focusing on the role of representation and the development of concepts in cognition, especially trying to map these ideas onto recent understanding in neuroscience and cognitive psychology.
ESC
ESC (Embodiment, Systems, and Complexity: Research Institute for Embodied Cognitive Science) is a collaboration nexus for researchers in cognitive science who take an embodied approach in their work, who begin their research with the idea that cognition is a physical activity that integrally involves the brain, the body, and the environment.

Do It Better
Having long struggled with the problem of how to bridge the gap between theory and practice, my most recent project in this area is proving to be exciting. I’ve created an organization Do It Better, the focus of which is to give workshops on how to maintain and improve various aspects of one’s own cognitive capacities.
