About Me 
Welcome to Benjamin Fonooni's personal website. This space is for sharing thoughts and ideas on differnt subjects such as Artificial Intelligence, Robotics and other related fields. Although this site has emphesized on my professional career, I decided to add another parts which include my musical career and personal notes.I'm a PhD student in Cognitive Science and Robotics and got my Master's in Artificial Intelligence and set up a company named "Artificial Intelligence Researchers (AIR) group" on April 2005. Currently I'm working on Learning from Demonstartion (LfD) and Joint Attention.

Current Book
How could the body influence our thinking when it seems obvious that the brain controls the body? In How the Body Shapes the Way We Think, Rolf Pfeifer and Josh Bongard demonstrate that thought is not independent of the body but is tightly constrained, and at the same time enabled, by it. They argue that the kinds of thoughts we are capable of have their foundation in our embodiment, in our morphology and the material properties of our bodies.
