My research focuses on developing methods for analyzing neuroscientific practice and its epistemological and metaphysical implications. Currently, I am working on topics such as causal reasoning in neurophysiology, computational modeling in neuroscience, and the uses of idealizations and abstractions in modeling. I am also developing methods for identifying exemplary practices in a field of research and conducting transdisciplinary research in mind/brain science.
