Research Interests

Designing and critically evaluating devices that alter the process of perception are Carson's current research interests. The philosophical implications of these devices and related human-computer and human-robot interaction systems are also topics of significance. He is an active member of the the Meta-Perception research group.

Curriculum Vitæ

Carson Reynolds holds a Doctor of Philosophy and Master of Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology upon recommendation by the Program in Media Arts and Sciences in the School of Architecture and Planning. His research work there was performed at the Media Laboratory in the Affective Computing Group. Carson also holds a Bachelor of Science in Technical Communication with a Minor in Philosophy from the University of Washington at Seattle.
