Human cognition is remarkable in its complexity. Unlike other animals, humans possess advanced language skills, higher-order thinking, tool creation, and social cooperation, all rooted in intricate cognitive processes. I am deeply interested in understanding these unique aspects of human cognition. By studying cognition, I believe we can gain important insights into the nature of human intelligence.
