David Casacuberta

David Casacuberta is a philosophy of science professor in the Universidad Autònoma de Barcelona (Spain). He has a PhD in Philosophy and a master degree in "Cognitive sciences and Language". His current line of research is the cognitive and social impact of new media, and specially, how the inclusion of artificial intelligence and artificial emotions can produce innovative, more interactive and radically different new types of media.
