Edge cognition

Cognitive Systems on the Edge of Chaos

I am fascinated by the complexity of living systems and how they defy the odds to adapt and thrive in a continuously changing environment: against all odds, cognitive systems adapt on the edge of chaos.



I conceive of Edge Cognition as an emergent property from an embodied agent's enactive interactions with its environment. Although all cognitive agents share basic forms of cognition, humans, in particular, possess the ability to develop symbolic skills that enable them to engage and adapt to their surroundings with greater skill and finesse.







Augmented cognition

Exploring the Emergence and Impact of Augmented Cognition through Edge Cognition



Can cognition be truly augmented, or is it merely modified or extended by technological interventions? This raises questions about the nature of cognition itself, including its limitations, potentialities as agents interact with their environment: how does augmented forms of cognition emerge from human cognitive sophistication, and, in turn, how does augmented cognition affect the human species, sociocultural dynamics, individuals, and the natural world?



My vision is to to use Edge Cognition to understand the potential of Augmented Cognition as a tool for positive behavioral change, preventive mental health, and psychopathology intervention. I explore how this intervention can be personalised as a complex perturbation to "stuck states" or to predict to tipping points to promote adaptive behaviour that enhance the overall well-being of individuals; ultimately contributing to sustainable and positive AI design and implementation.






ines hipolito

BPhil. MPhil. MSc. DPhil

Ines Hipolito (BPhil, MPhil, MSc, DPhil) is a researcher with an impressive track record of publications, awards, and keynote speeches. Her research has appeared in numerous top-ranked journals, and she has co-edited several important collections. In recognition of her research excellence, she has earned 19 research awards and was awarded the prestigious Talent Grant by the University of Amsterdam in 2021.


After completing her PhD, Ines took up a lectureship at the Berlin School of Mind and Brain (Humboldt-Universitat zu Berlin), where she continues to make significant contributions to the field of cognitive science. Her research focuses on the edge between basic forms of cognition and representational skills, exploring how augmented forms of cognition both emerge from and influence cognitive behaviour in the human species, individuals, and the natural world.


In addition to her research, Ines is also a co-founder and vice-president of the International Society of the Philosophy of the Sciences of the Mind, a thriving organisation with over 600 members. Her contributions to the field of philosophy have been recognized through her election to the Women in Philosophy Committee and the Committee in Diversity and Inclusivity at the Australasian Association of Philosophy. In short, Ines Hipolito is a highly accomplished researcher whose work has already had a significant impact on the field of cognitive science.
