I work on the intersection between philosophy of mind and computational cognitive neuroscience with inference theory under network and dynamic modelling. I am interested in the architecture and organisation of brain and cognition in theories under the Bayesian brain.
In my work I investigate the potential relations between the classic modularity of the mind and more recent computational theories under the Bayesian brain. My current research focuses on developing a theory of causal effects between perceptual experience and belief, which, can be formulated as cultural permeation and its neural substrates under effective connectivity. This requires combining research from philosophy of mind and epistemology with inference theory under dynamic modelling. Another topic I am interested in is whether scientific realism about inference is justified on the account of brain data analysis methods. This speaks to the question of whether inference exist in the brain independently of our scientific practice or paradigms. When I am not thinking about these things, I enjoy exploring the natural world, cultures, and myself. Check out my pictures on Instagram.
