Henrik Svensson is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Cognitive Science under the supervision of Professor Tom Ziemke
at the School of Humanities and Informatics at the University of Skövde (joint location with Department of Computer and Information Science, University of Linköping, Sweden).
Main research interest concerns the relation between agent-environment(sensorimotor)interactionand higher-level cognition, in particular, simulation theories of representation and cognition (e.g. Grush, 2004; Hesslow, 2002).
