I am a psychologist, computational neuroscientist, and roboticist, also a musician. I am especially interested in how the mind works and whether, when we make things like AIs and robots, they might also have minds; perhaps, one day, a sense of self. I am also interested in how these new technologies might change human lives and how we see ourselves.
