Sense, Space, and Self. His research topics include perception, the senses, attention, self-awareness, spatio-temporal representations, metacognition, cognitive development, and animal minds. He has published several theoretical papers, mostly single-authored, and several empirical papers, primarily with Patrick Haggard's Action and Body Lab at UCL and Brown Hsieh's Brain and Consciousness Lab at NTU. He just published a book entitled
John McDowell on Worldly Subjectivity: Oxford Kantianism Meets Phenomenology and Cognitive Sciences and is working on another book
Transcendental Epistemology.
Ryoji Sato is currently an Associate Professor at University Education Center, Tokyo Metropolitan University. Before that, he taught at Nagoya University of Foreign Studies and the University of Tokyo. He earned his Ph.D. in Philosophy from Monash University. He works broadly in philosophy of mind and specifically in the predictive processing framework.
Jakob Hohwy is the Director of the Monash Centre for Consciousness and Contemplative Studies, M3CS, which conducts philosophical, neuroscientific, and psychological research in consciousness and contemplative science. He conducts interdisciplinary research in the areas of philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience. In M3CS and in his Cognition and Philosophy Lab, they study the science of consciousness, theoretical neurobiology, decision-making and rationality, and psychiatry and neurobiology. He collaborates with neuroscientists and psychologists from Monash University and around the world.
