The main areas of Włodzisław Spirit's scientific interests were initially computer and molecular physics (1977-1990), then (1990-2012) computational intelligence (Computational Intelligence), including methods allowing for understanding of data structures, general theory of computer intelligence based on the assessment of similarity and assembly Transformation and meta-composition, which automatically finds the best model for a given data set, neurocognitive computer science, i.e. algorithms inspired by the functioning of the brain at many levels, cognitive architecture, neurodynamic models of mental illness integrating genetic, molecular and behavioral levels, and models that allow visualization of events mental. He also has several publications from the philosophy of mind. From 2013, he focused on the development of a neurocognitive laboratory on the Nicolaus Copernicus University, and in theoretical research and experimental cognitive processes, and since 2020 he has been managing the team "Neuroinformatics and artificial intelligence" under the University Center for Perfection "Dynamics, mathematical and artificial intelligence."

Having extensive experience in many fields of science and understanding of different cultures, Włodzisław Spirit tries to bring different scientific communities closer. A lot of information on his activities, scientific work and notes for various lectures can be found on the websites available after writing "W. Spirit ”in Google or other internet search engines.
