-
Lila Gleitman - In Memoriam
Psycholinguistics: morphological and syntactic structure. Language acquisition: representation of the soundwave; syntax; construction of the lexicon.
-
Zenon Pylyshyn - In Memoriam
Studies of visual attention and pre-attentive location indexing with application to visual tracking, perceptual- motor coordination, and teleoperation; empirical constraints on cognitive architecture, especially for imagery.

Computer Science

Alex Borgida
Improved software development techniques, in areas involving databases or requirements engineering. Since such systems maintain models of some (users' beliefs about) reality, my approach is usually based on the use of knowledge representation and reasoning techniques/logics. As a result, I sometime contribute to KR&R research to achieve my goals.

Philosophy
-
Jerry Fodor - In Memoriam
Philosophical problems about psychology, including theoretical and experimental investigations of cognitive architecture, psycholinguistics and cognitive development.
-
Alvin Goldman
Simulationist versus theory-theory approaches to mindreading, including reading emotion in faces; self-knowledge, self-report, and consciousness; descriptive and normative issues in reasoning; folk ontology.

Biomedical Engineering
-
Thomas Papathomas
His research interests are in human and machine vision, neural mechanisms in vision, image processing, imaging systems, and scientific visualization techniques. He is investigating the mechanisms that underlie the perception of visual motion, stereopsis, texture, and the deployment of attention in vision.
Psychology
-
Charles Randy Gallistel
Fully automated, highly diagnostic behavioral screens for abilities in learning and memory in the mouse and zebra fish. Also, animal cognition: spatial, temporal, and numerical learning and reasoning in animals.
