Ben Baker, JD PhD

My research concerns a broad range of issues relating to the mind. These include basic ideas used to conceptualize the mind and its component processes, how we study the mind scientifically, and relationships between biological and artificial intelligence. I have a special research interest in movement: how do aspects of one's movement reflect aspects of one's mind, and what makes movement intelligent? Some of my recent work is focused on dance - in better understanding the mental abilities involved, and using machine learning to analyze it. My approach brings together knowledge and methods from multiple disciplines that I have had the chance to study, including Philosophy, Cognitive Science, Neuroscience, AI, and Law.
