Professor Andy Baker |
Andy studies the mechanisms by which humans estimate the covariance between events and make causality judgments. Analogous experiments use classical and operant conditioning paradigms to clarify the mechanisms by which animals are sensitive to correlations between events. Prof. Baker is also interested in the relationship between impulsive behaviour and cognition in normal humans and those with impulsive disorders such as psychopathy and hyperactivity.

Dr. Anna Marmodoro |
Anna specializes in two research areas: contemporary metaphysics on the one hand, and ancient, medieval and late antiquity philosophy on the other.

She has published monographs, edited books and journal articles in all these areas. Anna currently directs a large-scale multidisciplinary research group funded by the European Research Council and the Templeton World Charity Foundation, with a combined research budget of over £2M. Her group investigates the nature of the fundamental building blocks of reality, with special interest in power ontology (including how this metaphysical view was developed in ancient Greek thought).
