    Mike Paulin is Associate Professor of Zoology at the University of Otago in New Zealand. He studies fundamental questions about brain function using computer models of early nervous system evolution, and models of nervous system function in animals as diverse as spiders, sharks and humans. He takes a synthetic, rather than an analytic, approach to understanding brains and minds, by embedding brain models in virtual animals and robots, in simulated and real environments.
