I am interested in non-classical approaches to study the physiology and cognition of consciousness. In recent years I have been focusing on describing different states of consciousness, such as awake, sleep, sedation and vegetative state.

Transitions of consciousness

|
At TEDx Rio de la Plata in Argentina, Tristan discusses how we might define and study borders between different states of consciousness.
In his studies he uses the transition from wakefulness to sleep to study how our cognitive abilities change when our conscious awareness of the world fades. |
