My other book projects
I have been preparing several other books, as mentioned on Books – CogZest.
Inventions based on cognitive science (with other inventors)
- Hook productivity app for macOS with CogSci Apps Corp.
- the cognitive shuffle, including forms of serial diverse imagining. (A family of cognitive techniques meant to facilitate sleep onset based on my theory of sleep onset and insomnolence.)
- mySleepButton with CogSci Apps Corp. (An application of the cognitive shuffle; plus a configurable body scan meditation).
- gStudy — Principal Investigator Dr. Phil Winne; with Drs. Allison Hadwyn, John Nesbitt and other members of the Learning Kit project.
- nStudy — Principal Investigator: Dr. Phil Winne; with Allison Hadwyn, Allison Hadwyn, John Nesbitt and others.
- NML1 (an AI simulation of goal processing in autonomous agents).
