Research fields
Research group memberships
Research: brief description
(1) In relation to two grants were I am PI – Motor dialogue and motor intention (Danish Council for Independent Research | Culture and Communication) and Exploration in infants play (LEGO foundation) one of the primary targets is to describe the construction of sense/meaning and the relation between the modalities (sensemodalities, affects, language) and analyzing the motor modality as meaning production.
(2)Scientific ontology and epistemology – theory of levels, reductionism andemergence. My ph.d. in biology were a theoretical analysis of this theme in biology, physics and neuropsychology. Since the field has been expanded to include scientific methods – quantitative and qualitative; statistics and definition of variables; complexity. In relation to the grant relating to motor intentionality and motor dialogue we have a large amount of kinematic data which allow a “statistical experimentation” – analyzing different statistical methods processing the same data.
(3) A large part of my production has been in history of science. I think the historical development of science (psychology and its border disciplines: psychiatry, neurosciences, philosophy) can be used to analyzing a series of defining elements for research.
Current research projects
Motor intentionality and motor dialogue – kinematics and phenomenological description of sense/meaning production in the pre-verbal infant.
Exploration in 1 – 5 years infants play.
Studies in philosophy of science: eclecticism; relations between statistical computation and definition of variables; history of science.
Humanomics: Mapping the dynamics of humanities.
Supervising nine ongoing ph.d. projects (motor intentionality, motor dialogue, exploration and play, cancer research, cognitive semantics).
