Kenichiro Mogi

Ken Mogi conducts research into the origin of consciousness from the approach of cognitive neurosciences. The research themes covered include, but are not limited to, qualia, attention, decision-making, temporal perception, memory, body image, emotion. Efforts are made to construct a consistent model of consciousness from the cell to the brain, with emphasis on the role of sensory overflow as a constraint on the evolution of consciousness. In addition, such aspects of brain’s cognition as communication, creativity, and social interactions are investigated.
