He has published numerous research articles in the field of cognitive neuroscience in peer-reviewed scientific journals, and has presented his research findings at scientific conferences.

Dr. Nachev’s current research interests include the neural basis of voluntary action, the conceptual analysis of neuroscientific thought, the anthropology of neuroscience, and oculomotor prosthetics.
