Anthony McCaffrey

Research:

I study conceptual combination, theories of concepts, and problem-solving using eye-tracking, fMRI, ERP, and behavioral methods.

Current and Impending Research is described on the pages accessed through the side menu.

 

Creative Outlets:

I create games and run my own game company DuckBunny Productions, Inc. (www.duckbunnyproductions.com). My latest offering is a collection of games using magnetic marbles called Magniverse: A Universe of Magnet Games. Gamewright Games (www.gamewright.com) is currently assessing whether or not to buy Magniverse from me.

I write a fantasy series Fractalia (found on Amazon.com) where unsolved puzzles spread chaos throughout the land and creative solutions to the unsolved puzzles reverse the spreading chaos. I also use a blog to collect my readers' solutions to the types of divergent puzzles used in the book: www.fractaliathebook.blogspot.com.

 

Awards:

Isenberg Scholar Award (2009-2010): to those committed to the integration of science and/or engineering with management. My research in innovation has a direct application for engineers.
