Research Interests
How does the human brain function and which computational models best imitate cognitive processing? What allows us to navigate and manage distortions in geometrically impossible environments? I am interested in understanding the brain’s algorithms and its ability to exploit constraints in order to transfer them into systems that use artificial intelligence. I am particularly interested in the types of rules spatial representations must abide by and if people can be taught to navigate within non-euclidean environments. Additionally, I would like to explore connections between perception and artificial intelligence systems.
