From the School of Computer Science and Department of Psychology at McGill University, I marvel at the world through algorithmic lenses. My specific interests are in quantum computing, evolutionary game theory, modern evolutionary synthesis, and theoretical cognitive science. Previously I was at the Institute for Quantum Computing and Department of Combinatorics & Optimization at the University of Waterloo and a visitor to the Centre for Quantum Technologies at the National University of Singapore.

Oct 31	comment	Can thought be shifted between subconscious and conscious awareness? if you have seen it, then why are you using the unscientific term 'subconscious'? If you simply used the scientific terms, you would answer your own question.

Oct 30	comment	Is there any “predictive” component to positive/negative affect in Seasonal Affective Disorder and Bipolar Disorder? This question does not relate to behaviourism, please read tag wikis and use standard tags
Oct 30	revised	How long can a person stay happy, excited and motivated about something new? edited tags; edited tags
Oct 30	comment	How long can a person stay happy, excited and motivated about something new? We already have an emotion tag, why did you create the affect tag? Please check for existing tags and read tag-wikis, the experimental-psychology tag is misapplied here. The tag is to be used for questions about experimental methods, design, etc., not if experiments have been done on specific questions. By default we expect most answers to be supported by experimental data, so using the tag just for that is redundant and meta.

Oct 17	comment	What neurobiological changes are associated with the end of the critical period in children? A related TEDx talk by Patricia Kuhl.
Oct 16	comment	What makes people easily subscribe to pseudoscientific theories? @JavierRodriguezLaguna I am a physicists too (well, that is a lie, I am more a mathematician now) and I don't do engineering hence I rarely use predictions of physics. When I am doing science, I am explaining parts of physics that are not well understood, and then the engineers worry about the applications and predictions after. This is true of most of my colleagues as well, except for a few experimentalists. But we are going off-topic, if you want to discuss more then catch me on G+ or twitter.
