Invited talk: Dr. Matthias Naus, National Institute of Mental Health in Bethesda (USA)
TITLE: I am a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Chris Baker at the National Institute of Mental Health in Bethesda (USA) and guest researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig (Germany). I study the links between human vision, viewing behavior and memory. I am especially interested in how we perceive and memorize space, and how our knowledge about the world shapes the way we see and interact with it. I address these questions using neuroimaging and eye tracking combined with psychophysical and virtual reality experiments. My work is complemented by machine learning to characterize brain activity in sensory and memory regions and how they interact. I also enjoy methods development to push the boundaries of how we study these processes altogether.
