CV

Postdoctoral Researcher

• Discovered colours to be coded similarly in different observers at the level of cortical retinotopy
• Supervised development of state-of-the-art AI model for video saliency prediction

Postdoctoral Researcher

Neuroimaging studies of visual processing under dynamic and natural viewing conditions

• Compared artificial perceiving system based on predictive learning with human fMRI activity during movie watching
• Found several neural representations of artistic style in the ventral stream using the neural style transfer algorithm (MSc project)
• fMRI experiment of optical flow in the human brain (MSc project)

PhD Student

Investigation of colour processing in the human brain using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), psychophysical methods, and machine learning algorithms

• Discovered memory colour signals in cortical area V1
• Quantified colour constancy psychophysically and mapped it to brain activity
• Related activity in area hV4 during object colour imagery to behaviour using Bayesian drift diffusion models
