Cognitive and Complex System Theory
A cognitive system is a percepting and autonomously
acting dynamical system. It is influenced, but not driven
by sensory input, its self-generated internal dynamics
plays therefore a central role.
We are developing organizational principles for autonomous
cognitive systems and complex and adaptive dynamical systems
in general.
Examples of organizational principles are polyhomeostasis,
a generalization of homeostasis, and diffusive emotional
control.

High temperature superconductors
The high temperature superconductors, like
SrxLa2-xCuO4,
have a very interesting phase diagram. The high-transition
temperature Tc for the superconducting (SC) phase is seen
as a consequence of the highly-unusual metallic normal state
at T>Tc.
This unusual metallic state is characterized by a pseudogap
and may be a realization of a new, long-sought quantum state of
matter, the spin-liquid or Resonating Valence Bond (RVB)
state, which we are investigating.
