Anibal has a Master's degree in philosophy from the National Autonomous University of Mexico and he is currently coursing his doctorate degree in philosophy at the same university. His main areas of interest include philosophy of mind and the cognitive sciences, and philosophy of perception. Anibal's work is an attempt to elucidate the nature of perceptual experiences in general, including it's qualitative character and cognitive/epistemic role, within a naturalist framework. Specifically, he holds that perceptual experiences should be explained as highly internally determined representations.
