Research

My current research has two main threads. The first focuses on how mental phenomena relate to variables tracked and manipulated by neuroscientists during experiments. I see this as a narrower formulation of the classic mind-body problem but no less puzzling. The second thread of my research concentrates on the epistemology of cognitive science and neuroscience.
