I study how organisms evaluate what is beneficial or harmful when they must act before they can fully process a situation. This is the starting point for my research on consciousness, selfhood and AI.
Theoretical proposals, conference presentations and exploratory models are labelled according to their actual maturity.

Research and developmentResearch into how AI systems can retain context, assess their own reasoning and adjust their actions over time.
→Coupled Dynamics of Attention and Valence
ExploratoryExploratory models of how attention may coordinate with evaluations of what is beneficial or harmful.
→Nested Selfhood and Umwelt
ExploratoryAn exploratory model of how increasingly integrated forms of self may emerge from nested biological and regulatory boundaries.
