![]() ![]() Hofstadter's interests concerning the human mind are varied, ranging from errors as a window on the mind (see "To Err is Human To Study Error-making is Cognitive Science") to the mechanisms of creativity to the nature of consciousness (see I Am a Strange Loop and The Mind's I). Progress has been made, but there is still far to go (see Fluid Concepts & Creative Analogies). For roughly 25 years, the FARGonauts have been making computational models of our human concepts and categories, the premise being that if and when these mini-concepts achieve the holy grail of "fluidity", creative analogy-making will be an outcome. Douglas Hofstadter is College of Arts and Sciences Distinguished Professor of Cognitive Science and Comparative Literature, where he also directs the Fluid Analogies Research Group, nicknamed "FARG", at the Center for Research on Concepts and Cognition. ![]()
