Research theme

  • Methodological:
    • The enactive paradigm and its methodological implications for cognitive science
    • Combining empirical and synthetic (and subjective?) approaches for an interdisciplinary minimal and enactive cognitive science. (In particular: evolutionary robotics and perceptual supplementation).
    • Evolutionary robotics simulation models as tools for thinking in conceptual debate on embodied and situated interaction dynamics.
  • Applied:
    • Evolutionary robotics model of an empirical study on perceptual crossing (Di Paolo, Rohde and Iizuka, forthcoming)
    • Investigation of adaptation to delayed sensory feeback in humans and evolved artificial agents (Rohde and Di Paolo, 2007; also, unpublished work/work in progress).

Keywords: Evolutionary Robotics, Cognition, Perceptual Supplementation, Enaction, Sensorimotor Behaviour
