Bio

Prof. Bapi Raju S is a Professor and Head of Cognitive Sciences Lab at IIIT Hyderabad, where interdisciplinary research is carried out along empirical, computational and theoretical dimensions. The aim is to develop AI models inspired from Cognitive Science as well as explain cognitive phenomena using AI models.

Current Research Focus: Empirical methods are employed to investigate time perception, human motor (skill) learning, and implicit motor learning. On the computational front, he uses state-of-the-art deep learning models for structure-function mapping, classification of brain disorders, whole-brain models as well as for modeling phases of skill learning. Theoretical investigation is being carried out to understand the sense of magnitude, sense of agency/volition and brain measures of consciousness.

Research Philosophy

His research is highly interdisciplinary, combining methods from computer science, neuroscience, psychology, and mathematics to understand intelligence and cognition. Going forward, he is eager to understand how cognitive science can contribute to developing AI models and vice versa.
