Jeff Yoshimi

Jeff Yoshimi is Professor of Philosophy and Cognitive Science at the University of California, Merced. His research spans philosophy of mind, cognitive science, and phenomenology, with specific interests in neural networks and dynamical systems theory.

He develops computational tools including SimBrain (a neural network simulator) and maintains Husserl.net, a resource on phenomenology. His book Gaming Cancer argues that embedding scientific problems into game mechanics can accelerate medical discoveries.

Recent publications demonstrate his interdisciplinary approach, connecting dynamical systems theory with philosophical questions about perception, consciousness, and embodied cognition. His work frequently appears in cognitive science and philosophy journals.
