 Douglas R. Hofstadter Center for Research on Concepts & Cognition Indiana University, Bloomington http://www.cogsci.indiana.edu/ Douglas R. Hofstadter is College of Arts & Sciences Distinguished Professor of Cognitive Science and Computer Science at Indiana University Bloomington where he also directs the Center for Research on Concepts & Cognition. His Pulitzer Prize-winning book "Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid" (1979) has had wide impact on people in many disciplines, ranging from philosophy to mathematics to artificial intelligence to music, and beyond. Hofstadter's long-standing interest in classical music resulted in the creation of visual forms of fugues and canons ("Whirly Art"), and in a number of compositions for piano. Hofstadter's writings and research seek to answer several interrelated questions: (1) how can physical activity give rise to a conscious self? (2) how does the human mind perceive unfamiliar situations and make analogies between situations? (3) how does the human mind create new ideas? To explore these abstract issues in a concrete manner, he has designed and implemented, in collaboration with FARG (the Fluid Analogies Research Group, consisting of himself and his doctoral students), computer models of high-level perception and analogical thought in carefully honed microdomains.
