Main research focus: implications of cognitive scientific research for conceptual and philosophical issues: connectionism (artificial neural networks), embodiment (role of body and local environmental structure in promoting adaptive success) and their interrelations; the relation between thought and language (how language transforms the space of reason); the respective roles of computational, representational, and dynamical analyses in cognitive science; real-world robotics and animate vision; the interplay between individual cognition and the wider webs of social structure and technological artifact.
