Modularity

Part of my reseach focuses on the hypothesis of modularity in cognitive science. The question of how to identify isolable cognitive domains and the processes underlying these domains has been a central issue in the philosophical, psychological and neuroscientific debate of the last decades. What is a module? What are its core features? Are there empirical criteria to isolate cognitive systems characterized by modular properties?
My interest in the modularity hypothesis was originally triggered by the question of how to understand results from functional brain imaging suggesting functional specialization of different areas in the human brain.
I have also studied the role modularity criteria play in the rationale for a binding problem in human perception.
