Welcome to our Computation Cognition Lab, a hub of cognitive exploration of the mind. Here, we combine the power of computation with the intricacies of cognition and consciousness in both humans and the animal kingdom. Our focus resides at the juncture of computation and cognition, where artificial intelligence, neuroscience, cognitive psychology and evolutionary biology meet. 

The Computational Cognition Lab investigates how animals and humans perceive, process, and respond to information, with a focus on uncovering the cognitive mechanisms that underlie complex behaviours. We combine behavioural experiments, computational modelling, and advanced sensing technologies to study processes such as perception, learning, decision-making, and social interaction. Our work spans a wide range of species, from small-brained invertebrates to large mammals, enabling comparative insights into the evolution and diversity of cognition. We also integrate approaches from neuroscience, psychology, and artificial intelligence to model how cognitive functions emerge from biological systems. Field and lab-based projects often involve cutting-edge tracking and monitoring tools, allowing us to quantify fine-scale behaviours in both natural and controlled environments. Through this multidisciplinary approach, we aim to advance our understanding of cognition across species and contribute to broader discussions on consciousness, intelligence, and the interplay between natural and artificial systems.
