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. 

We are seeking a full-time research assistant. Go to "Join" and learn more.

We are passionate about understanding the cognitive processes of two distinct but equally fascinating groups:

Canine Cognition: Dogs have long been our companions, and their cognitive abilities have intrigued scientists for decades. In our lab, we explore how dogs think, learn, and communicate. We investigate their problem-solving skills, memory and perceptual capabilities, and even their social intelligence. By employing computational models and cutting-edge neuroscience techniques, we aim to unveil the secrets of the canine mind. Our findings not only shed light on the cognitive world of dogs but also have practical applications in training, behavior modification, and the human-animal bond.

Infant Cognition: Infants, with their developing minds, offer a unique window into the early stages of human cognition. Our research extends to understanding how infants perceive and interact with the world around them. We explore their ability to learn, process information, and make sense of their environment. By employing computational models and observational studies, we strive to uncover the intricate cognitive processes that underpin early human development. Our findings contribute to the fields of developmental psychology and education, with the potential to shape early childhood interventions and educational practices.
