Main area of research is the philosophy of mind with focus on the interdisciplinary exchange with related empirical sciences.
In particular, I treat the ways in which empirical data is leveraged in philosophical debates in the domain of consciousness studies.
My current project involves investigating the empirical support for the distinction between access consciousness and phenomenal consciousness, and how this model relates to the emerging debate in cognitive neuroscience about the neural correlates of consciousness.Research
