Chrystopher Nehaniv

Chrystopher Nehaniv is a Visiting Professor in Mathematical & Evolutionary Computer Science at the University of Hertfordshire, affiliated with the School of Physics, Engineering & Computer Science and the Department of Computer Science. He leads the Biocomputation Research Group and is associated with the Centre for AI and Robotics Research.

His research focuses on:

• Human-robot interaction and perception of humanoid robots
• Computational neuroscience including EEG microstate analysis
• Evolutionary computation and automata theory
• Continual learning systems for robotics
• Information-theoretic approaches to biocomputation

Recent publications demonstrate strong interdisciplinary focus bridging neuroscience and robotics, with EEG microstate research exploring methodological advances, meta-analysis standardization, and clinical reliability, while robotics work investigates continual learning paradigms in human-robot interaction scenarios.

He has led multiple research projects including:

• Novel Computational Methods for Predicting Transitions in Spatiotemporal Neurodynamics
• Decoding EEG microstates in expert meditators
• INTERLACE: Interacting Decentralized Ledger Architecture
• Perception of humanoid robots
• Social sensorimotor contingencies (socSMCs)
