Embodied Cognitive Science Unit
@ECSUnit
Unit @OISTedu in Okinawa investigating how embodied, social & tech-mediated interaction shapes cognition using haptics, hyperscanning, and artificial life
May our work benefit all (kinds of) beings. Our new preprint builds on the ideas introduced by teammates in this Science Robotics perspective piece. We argue that vulnerability and mortality are features, not bugs, for agents that adapt and provide care.
Artificially vulnerable, fully empathic #AI is required to prevent sociopathic robots. Read the recent Viewpoint at Science #Robotics: scim.ag/5ai
On a Geometry for Interbrain Networks: discrete Ricci curvature + entropy can capture phase transitions and information routing in social neural dynamics. Accepted to the 4th NeurReps @neur_reps workshop at NeurIPS @NeurIPSConf 2025. With @NoahGuzman14 & @mweber_PU.
My full episode with the legend @drmichaellevin is now live! Its honestly the best episode I've done to date. I can't wait to hear what you think! youtube.com/watch?v=LTBZRV…
Methods in the Philosophy of Science: A User's Guide is now a real, live book. My chapter offers an appraisal of philosophy of science in its engagement with applied mathematics. mitpress.mit.edu/9780262552240/…

The SocialBRIDGES Presence event was a great opportunity for reflecting about the basis of perceptual and social presence. In 20 minutes I gave an overview of the various strands of research spanning 20 years of my career! 😅 youtube.com/post/UgkxldwMy… via @YouTube

Minds are messy. Maybe we can map useful abstractions in aid of their navigation? @nico_hinrichs's current reading stack spans the mess from lived experience to neural stimulation.
Good news! 🎉🥳 We've received funding for the next installment of the International Conference on Embodied Cognitive Science (ECogS 2026) at OIST. Theme: Embodied cognition and AI Dates: Nov. 9-13, 2026 Save the dates! We look forward to hosting a week of deep discussions. 🤗
Thrilled to join the Steering Committee of the Society for Philosophy and Neuroscience @Socforphilneuro ! 🎉 I’ll contribute to shaping next year's conference with a fantastic team led by Danielle J. Williams @okdaniellle and David Barack @DLBarack!
What can embodied cognitive science tell us about personal change? I sat down with @Mark_M_James to reflect on links between the wayshaping framework and irruption theory. Can they tell us how to scaffold across the intention-action gap? youtu.be/OJMIKztpvdM?si… via @YouTube

Hello @ECSUnit definitely need a little more insight into Haptic Models 🤓
Mechanisms over Metaphors. Also reminds me of what @EricConk32 was bringing attention to. Neuroscience leads the way. ✨
What a joy to talk with @mathgrayuk over two hourd about hyperscanning, machine consciousness, and active inference.
Finally published: “Explosive neural networks via higher-order interactions in curved statistical manifolds” nature.com/articles/s4146… Enhancing the capabilities of recurrent neural networks by deforming their geometry!
I'm thrilled to report that our past postdoc Andrés G. Mejía Ramón is on a roll! 🥳 While working in ECSU at @OISTedu, he developed packages to enable archaeologists to better measure social inequality and to do so across scales: pnas.org/doi/abs/10.107…
