Ken Mogi
About Me
Ken Mogi, Ph.D. My mission is to solve the so-called mind-brain problem. I would like to understand how our consciousness full of qualia arise from the billions of firing neurons in the brain. I research in Sony Computer Science Laboratory, Tokyo. I also teach at Tokyo Institute of Technology, and Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music (Geidai). I write critical essays on the arts and literature. I am the conceptor for the Qualia Movement of Sony Corporation. I stayed in Cambridge, U.K. for two years to do postdoc. I have published ~ 10 books in Japanese (English ones in the pipeline). I sometimes appear on Japanese television. Currently, I host "The Professionals" program on Japan's national television, NHK. My given name is Kenichiro (meaning "healthy first son"). So I am formally known as "Kenichiro Mogi". "Ken" is an abbreviation. My favorites are Richard Wagner operas, Yasujiro Ozu films, British Comedy (such as Little Britain, Fawlty Towers and The Office and Father Ted), among other things.
