-------------------------------------
I've put a summary of the main interests of the center in neuroprose
(file OSU.Cogsci). Personally, I am looking for someone with a solid
background in non-linear dynamical systems to collaborate on the
question of how fractals and chaos are exploited by cognition. Other
opportunities exist in neuroscience, AI, vision, speech, language,
music, motor control, philosophy of mind, and elsewhere, under
sponsorship of faculty in those areas. Please contact me (and/or any
other faculty you know at OSU) for further info.
