My primary scientific interest involves mental representation, and under this broad umbrella I've investigated numerous phenomena. One area of investigation involves representational momentum, a tendency for memory for an object to be displaced or biased in ways consistent with that object's expected behavior. Studies of representational momentum led me to related topics of perception of causality and boundary extension. A second area of investigation involves properties of mental imagery, and this led me to study psychophysics. A third area of investigation involves different aspects of music cognition. In addition to these empirical studies, I am in interested in philosophy of mind and consciousness studies. I've completed theoretical work on qualia and on cognitive aspects of altered states such as dreaming and shamanism. These investigations address what I see as the greatest mystery of science... how it is that we are able to reconstruct within our minds a copy of the world, and how are the properties of that mental representation related to the properties of the world?
