Research Interests
My research interests focus on how the brain represents the body and organizes action within
peripersonal space. In humans, I am interested in multisensory integration, specifically using
perceptual illusions and cognitive neuroscience methods to investigate the neural bases of a

creature’s sense of: (1) body/part ownership, (2) agency, (3) embodiment, and (4) selflocation.
In a comparative perspective, I study spatial reasoning, flexible behavior and tool use in a
variety of primate species, including capuchin monkeys, chimpanzees and humans. Example
research topics in this area: (1) manual actions inserting objects into substrates (as a
prerequisite for some tool use), (2) combinatory object manipulation (stacking blocks and
oddly-shaped objects), (3) spatial reasoning and decision making (rank ordering and
decisions-from-a-distance in a simulated foraging task), and (4) environment monitoring
behaviors (allocation of attention to task, environment and conspecifics).
I am also interested in neurophilosophy, history and philosophy of science, artificial
intelligence, learning, and embodied/extended cognition.
