Piccinini specializes in theories of Neuroscience, Computation, Psychology and the human Mind.
An overview of his work in these areas is below.
In the area of cognitive science Piccinini is best known for his mechanistic account of what it takes for a physical system to perform computations.
He has argued that computation is a kind of mechanistic process that does not require representation.
Building on his account of computation, he and co-author Sonya Bahar, a physicist and Director of the Center for Neurodynamics at University of Missouri, St. Louis, argue that neural computations are neither digital nor analog, but sui generis.
Piccinini is also widely known for his critique of pancomputationalism and for his view about first-person data such as data from first-person reports.
He has argued that first-person data are scientifically legitimate because they are public like other scientific data.
Piccinini has also published influential articles on computational theories of cognition, concepts, and consciousness, with award-winning physicist Sonya Bahar and his post doc and research associate Corey Maley from Princeton University, among others.
In 2020, he published the book Neurocognitive Mechanisms, in which he develops a neurocomputational explanation of cognition.
Piccinini has received several grants, awards, fellowships and teaching releases, including two Scholars' Awards by the National Science Foundation.
