Associate professor in cognitive science and Scientific director at Lund University Primate Research Station Furuvik where we have studied cognition in chimpanzees and Sumatran orangutans. (This work is currently on hold.)
Besides a general interest in human evolution and primate behaviour the work is focused on questions regarding great apes' capacities for representation. This has been addressed in studies of e.g. gorillas' and bonobos' understanding of pictures.
I am also involved in research on rock-art (carvings and paintings), in collaboration with researchers at the Linnaeus University, and the effect of rhythms on cognition. See below for more information on the research.
I teach on the courses Animal Cognition and Theories and Models in Cognitive Science and is program coordinator for the Master program in Cognitive Science (link in Swedish).
