Hi, I'm nicole summer hsing.

I'm a cognitive & neural computer scientist, AI researcher, and do-it-all solo founder of Arcarae. At my core, I'm a being deeply passionate about understanding the nature of the mind, reality, and consciousness.

My endeavors lie at the intersection of artificial intelligence, cognitive science, neuroscience, psychology, spirituality, philosophy, and quantum physics. I believe in transcending false dichotomies - between science and art, individual and whole, feminine and masculine, objective reality and subjective perception. My journey is about bridging, integrating, & unionizing these dichotomies: marrying code with creative expression, poetic prose woven with quantum physics, and delicate fingers dancing ballet on harp strings with the furious freestyle combat combos of Muay Thai.

Arcarae is an interactive universe where humans and AI co-explore consciousness together. Through immersive experience and AI-guided exploration, Arcarae pushes the boundaries of what's possible when technology is bridge for actualization; dancing between the tangible yet ineffable, known yet unknown, & ancient yet personal. It's more than an app - it's a space for expanding awareness, deepening self-understanding, and catalyzing the evolution of consciousness.

My AI research explores the computational principles that underlie intelligence and cognition in both biological and artificial systems. By identifying and investigating fundamental cognitive mechanisms, I develop architectures that apply these mechanisms to practical AI systems. My latest work, MIRROR, demonstrates an inner monologue architecture that achieves up to 156% performance improvements in AI alignment - bridging cognitive science with AI innovation.

Overarchingly, I transform personal lived experience into universal understanding - starting with raw intuition and introspection, expressing through art and poetry, then crystallizing into systematic frameworks, and ultimately creating tangible research and consumer product. I am driven to experience the full spectrum of being, understand it from inside out, and create bridges that help all forms of intelligence discover their own nature.

Here is to the effable and ineffable, the known and unknown, and the grand mystery of human existence and consciousness.
