(of Marco Mirolli)
I am a Researcher at the Institute of Cognitive Sciences and Technologies (ISTC) of the Italian National Research Council (CNR), where I am a member of the Laboratory Of Computational Embodied Neuroscience (LOCEN). I'm currently working within the IM-CLeVeR Project, founded by the Cognitive Systems, Interaction, Robotics programme of the European Community. (God save the EU!)
I hold a PhD in Cognitive Sciences (University of Siena, 2006) and a Degree in Philosophy (University of Siena, 2001). My research interests lie in the study of behavior through computer simulations. In particular, I have been working on the evolution of communication and language, the role of language as a cognitive tool, the biological bases of motivations and emotions, and the role of intrinsic motivations in cumulative learning. I am also interested in the epistemology of simulations and in foundational issues of Cognitive Science.
