Cognitive Science as Reverse Engineering
- Cognitive science is interdisciplinary, using information processing to study the mind.
- Understanding the mind requires reverse engineering its requirements and designing implementations.
Design Tech for Expert Adult Learning
- Use cognitive science and technology together to design better tools for adult expert learning.
- Focus learning technology on supporting adults at the top of their fields first.
Theory to Accelerate Falling Asleep
- Luc developed "supersomnolent mentation" theory to help reduce time taken to fall asleep.
- This includes techniques mimicking mental states just prior to sleep onset to aid faster sleep.
