Dr. Roy de KLEIJN is an Assistant Professor at Leiden University. He holds degrees in Computer Science from Georgia Tech and Psychology from Leiden University. He coordinates and lectures in the Introduction to Cognitive Science course for students in the Artificial Intelligence program at Leiden University. His research interests include the computational nature of cognition: how is information represented in the brain, and what kind of computations are involved in our cognitive processes? To study this, he uses computer simulations of robots endowed with digital brains, to see what kind of problems these robots can solve, and what their brain architecture should look like to solve different problems. | |||
