Jacob is currently aiming to complete his Ph.D. in Medicine (Neuroscience) at Adelaide University within the School of Biomedicine. His research explores the origin and capabilities of inter-neural brain synchronisation (IBNS), including its neurological underpinnings, modality and relationship to phenomenal consciousness. The goal is to further contextualise IBNS through inter-disciplinary research methods which incorporate ideas from evolutionary biology, anomalistic psychology, socio-cognitive neuroscience and philosophy of mind. Through this, we can re-examine human prosociality to understand its implications in the development of the modern human brain and discover how IBNS may influence our subjective interpretations of the experienced world.
