processing, motion perception and
perceptual binding, signal
detection theory and its application, stimulus-response compatibility and
separating S-R components, aggregation of preference and
social choice, reinforcement
learning, information geometry and
mathematical foundation of machine learning, and games and theory-of-mind.
