Research Interests

My current research involves applying insights in nonlinear dynamical systems theory to the problems of cognition. My research explores the uses of aperiodic dynamics in forming perceptual, memory and goal structures for use in improved action selection mechanisms for autonomous agents. I have been particularly interested in the hierarchical formation of goal structures (valence systems) in biological and artificial organisms. My research has looked at how principles of self-organization in nonlinear dynamics are realized in neuronal groups, and especially how such principles are organized in the development of behavioral mechanisms. Areas of interest include:

• Complex adaptive systems

• Dynamical and embodied cognitive models

• Nonlinear brain dynamics

• Self-organizing systems

• Hierarchical and mesh dynamics

• Developmental and evolutionary systems
