Lab 2017/18 (with Lothar Spillmann)

 

Principal Investigator

Gerrit Maus

Gerrit MausI studied Cognitive Science at the University of Osnabrück and got my PhD at the University of Sussex in Brighton, UK. During this time I visited the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research in Frankfurt to begin fMRI studies of the visual cortex. After that, I worked in California for 7 years, first at the Center for Mind and Brain at UC Davis, and then at UC Berkeley. I have also spent time at the University of Glasgow, at the Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute in San Francisco and at the Laboratoire Psychologie de la Perception in Paris. Since October 2015 I am an Assistant Professor at Nanyang Technological University.

Postdocs

Maiko Uesaki

After graduating from the University of York with a BSc in Psychology, I did my PhD at Kyoto University. During my PhD, I also spent time at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, and Stanford University. I then worked at Ritsumeikan University, before joining the Visual Perception Lab in 2018. My interests include visual motion processing, multisensory integration, self-motion perception and navigation.

Egor Ananyev

I am interested in visual perception, consciousness, and attention. My current project focuses on the interaction between attention and physiology (eye blinks). Previously, I worked on investigating the vision loss with head- and eye-tracking and virtual environments (with Drs. Eliezer Peli and Alexandra Bowers), and using artificial neural networks to evaluate neurological damage to visual system (with Dr. Stephen Kosslyn). As a PhD student at National University of Singapore, I worked with Drs. Brown Hsieh and Trevor Penney on binocular rivalry and motion perception.

Graduate Students

Ang Jit Wei, Aaron

AaronPhD student / Teaching Assistant
I completed my BSc (Hons) in Psychology and MSc in Cognitive Neuroscience at The University of York, United Kingdom. During this time, I spent about two years at the York Neuroimaging Centre working on empirical projects involving the use of fMRI, TMS and MEG. Studies ranged from investigating the visual cortex, semantic and executive control network to the default mode network. I am broadly interested in the use of neuroimaging techniques to pinpoint the neural correlates of any given cognitive process. Specifically, I am especially interested in mind wandering and involuntary musical perception (or imagery). My current work is on the influence of eye blinks on cognition (ie. attention, semantics).

Research Assistant

Xuehao Yang

Research Assistant
I studied Electrical and Electronic Engineering in Nanyang Technological University and graduated in the year of 2017. After graduation, I was working at Tan Tock Seng Hospital as a research engineer and started my part-time study in NTU as a MSc student in Signal Processing. My study was related to Computer Vision and Deep Learning. I joined Visual Perception Lab in 2020 and my current project focuses on the study of perceptual continuity.
