Ron Sun is Professor of Cognitive Science at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. A well known researcher in cognitive science, Ron Sun leads projects investigating fundamental structures of the human mind. In particular, he recently published a book entitled Duality of the Mind, exploring the interaction of implicit and explicit cognition. He is also the founding co-editor-in-chief of the journal Cognitive Systems Research.
