Our Focus Areas

​Artificial Intelligence & Cognition: We examine the intersection of human cognition and artificial intelligence, seeking to bridge the gap between current generative technologies and true cognitive systems. Our research focuses on developing frameworks for AI systems that can maintain self-identity, respond adaptively to environmental changes, and build rich internal world models.

​

Epistemic Frameworks: We develop theoretical and practical approaches to improve how individuals and organizations create meaning from information. By examining the structures of knowledge and belief formation, we aim to enhance collective intelligence and promote more effective sense-making in complex systems.

​

Metacognitive Processes: We study how humans develop awareness of their own thought patterns, learning, and decision-making. Our research explores how enhanced metacognition can improve critical thinking, sense-making, and adaptive responses to complex challenges in a rapidly changing world.

​

Systemic Change: We apply metacognitive insights to address large-scale societal challenges. Our work explores how improved metacognitive processes can lead to better decision-making and more effective approaches to global issues, from misinformation to sustainable development.

 

Physics and Consciousness: We work at the boundaries of our current understanding, exploring the intersection between what we observe and who does the observing.

 

Conscious Wellbeing: We bridge theory and practice by translating research insights into accessible tools and programs. Through comprehensive assessment methods and clear metrics, we make transformative concepts actionable to obtain profound changes.
