Nicolas Crozatier

Visiting Student

Nicolas is a PhD Candidate jointly enrolled at Université Grenoble Alpes (France) and Macquarie University (Australia). He is a member of the Junior Scientific Council of the CDP CerCoG Brain & Cognition. His research lies at the intersection of philosophy of technology, ethics, and cognitive science, with a particular focus on the impact of emerging technologies on human memory. He studies cognitive prostheses both in their therapeutic applications and their potential for cognitive enhancement. Holding M.A. degrees in Cognitive Science and in Philosophy, his work emphasizes the role of the environment in shaping cognitive and affective processes, while combining philosophical analysis, empirical research, and ethical inquiry. Currently, his research critically examines individualistic conceptions of autonomy by exploring the compatibility between feminist theories of relational autonomy and distributed conceptions of autonomy implied by 4E cognitive theories.
