   Behind appearances: Relationships between contemporary arts and sciences.
   Decoding works of art: The crossroads of artists' minds as hidden in tableaux-à-clef and in romans-à-clef.
Neurobiologic correlates of artistic and scientific creativity.
   Digital and electro-optical media in the fine arts: Implications and applications of these type of emergent media (e.g., digital cameras and printers, high-resolution electro-optical panels, imaging software, virtual portfolios and galleries) to teaching, exhibition, propagation, and conservation. Facilitating the extension of art museums to the World Wide Web towards their integration within the Global Village.
   Analysis of recurrent phenomena: Kinematic visualization and analysis of physical and biological recurrent or cyclic phenomena applied to paleoenvironmental reconstructions and to circadian biology..
   Virtual neurobiologic disorders:  Evolutionary biochemical ethological (EBE) study and biomathematical modeling of neurobiological disorders which affect animal communication bandwidths. Environmental and pharmacological control of such bandwiths and their application to studies of comparative evolutionary psychology (reptiles vs humans).
   Distributed computing: Integration of globally distributed computers into virtual supercomputers applied to research projects in mathematics (GIMPS) and exobiology (SETI@home).
