#bodymindself

In this second episode of the (body[mind{self}])™ podcast psychologist and cognitive scientist John Francis Leader / JFL twitter.com/jfldotcom jfl.com meets cognitive psychologist Dr. Andrew Pringle from the Insight Centre at University College Dublin @ajpringleUCD / https://www.insight-centre.org/users/andrew-pringle to discuss creativity, augmented reality and the practical implications of progress in this area.

Dr. Andrew Pringle completed a PhD in Cognitive Psychology at the University of Surrey and joined the Insight Centre for Data Analytics in September 2014. He is currently co-ordinating an Insight Centre partnership with an international company to validate the effectiveness of a novel game-based app for addressing real world problems in the market research industry. His PhD titled "Creative Thinking: A Mode Shifting Hypothesis" examined the psychological processes underpinning creative thought. Andrew has recently been involved in two European consortiums putting together funding bids for Horizon 2020 ICT calls on the use of Augmented and Virtual reality for learning in Science, Technology, Art and Mathematics (STEAM) and a social game for promoting employability.

The (body[mind{self}])™ podcast, newly launched in 2017, is an ongoing series of conversations between JFL and others on the topics of applied psychology and cognitive science, experiential learning, perception, virtual and mixed reality, embodiment, mental processes and identification.

The aim of the series is to include the voices of people from very diverse backgrounds, ranging from academia to those working on the frontline in applied fields, with the hope of gaining an even greater systematic understanding of the topics being explored. All views expressed are those of the person who expressed them and not necessarily those of JFL.
