My current research is focused on nerorobotic cognitive modelling, specifically the development of cortical hierarchies and the migration / formation of functional regions of cortex. These models learn sensorimotor knowledge from experience leading to the discovery of affordances and objects in the environemnt and further provide the basis of planning and decision making behaviour in an autonomous robot. This work is intended to inform both theoretical psychology and provide the means for general-purpose (non-task specific) autonomous robotics. Below you can find a sample of some of my recent work and by clicking on a section you can also find out more...
