Mark Miller

Dr. Miller is a philosopher and cognitive scientist who applies the tools of conceptual analysis, theoretical model building and empirical methods to answer fundamental questions about human cognition - about the way that human beings think.

​His research investigates the implications of a leading new perspective on cognition, which conceptualizes the mind as an engine of knowledge-driven predictions. He works to integrate this body of work with the so called “4E cognition” view, which emphasizes the role of embodied and environmental processes in constituting what we call mind.

Today, he is exploring how these same developments in cognitive psychology and neuroscience may help us gain a clearer understanding of the impact that our increasingly technologically-mediated world has on our happiness and well-being. Dr. Miller is developing new perspectives on contemporary discussions in domains such as human-computer interaction and socio-technical systems, with a specific emphasis on human flourishing.
