My research interests focus on evolutionary explanations of tacit and explicit knowledge, the evolution of epistemological mechanisms, and the impact of bodily experiences on human cognition and learning. I address these issues from neuroiological, embodied cognition, psycholinguistic, comparative psychological and philosophical approaches. Educational neuroscience. smart technology studies, attention restoration theory and cognitive robotics are among the scientific themes that I cover.
