Research

Some of the many questions that I am curious about...

Why/how do we do what we do? Is there a universal code of operations across species - something that helps us relate to each other, emote to instrumental music...? How does the brain integrate multimodal-multisensory perceptions into experiences that can be imagined and relived? Can we model thinking? Is there an algebra underlying creation, navigation through, and manipulation of thoughts? How do we understand? When do we understand that we have understood? Why are we curious? What is the self? Do pre-lingual babies think, if yes, how do they represent their thoughts? Do babies understand that they have understood? How do we imagine? What is creativity? What is consciousness? What defines attention and free-will? How is the time-space continuum represented in the brain? - Concepts of objective and subjective time ...



Subject-areas that my work broadly draws from (in alphabetical order)...

Affective Computing, Algorithms, Artificial General Intelligence, Cognitive Anthropology, Computational Thinking, Computing With Words (CWW), Developmental Psychology, Natural Language Processing (NLP) / Natural Language Understanding (NLU), Neuroscience of Contemplation and Comprehension, Philosophy of Mind, and Quantum Models of Cognition.

Besides these, I forage for answers in the heuristics arising out of thinking on thinking and needs of everyday life.
