Mission Statement
Qualia are the subjective sensory qualities like "the redness of red" that accompany our perception. Elucidating the neural basis of qualia is central in understanding the principles of the "integrated parallelism" in cortical information processing. The so-called "binding problem" is a typical aspect of the above mentioned "integrated parallelism". My research is focused on the mathematical formulation of qualia, and its implementation in novel artificial computing processes. Here, it is essential to obtain the space-time structure characterizing our perceptual processes from the causal relationship between neural firings, and to understand the symmetries involved in the neural basis of qualia.
Representative Research Interests (descriptions and resources available sometime soon)
Qualia, free will, subjective perception of time, mircoslips, artificial and natural intelligence, paersonality, attachment, secure base, theory of mind, cognitive development, fluctuation and adaptability, neural correlates of consciousness, minimal model of subjectivity, visual awareness, binocular rivalry, change blindness, stochastic intereference, graphic transformation method, neuroeconomics, dynamical editing of memory, social construction of the self, the neuroscience of happiness, territorial disputes, metacognition of the phenomenology of consciousness, etc.
