PhD student at University of Utah in Cognition & Neural Science. Studying #pain, #perception, #emotion, & #quantpsych. Opinions (and typos) are my own.

Before you go on holidays, please reboot this position --- a postdoc/junior research group leader on data science in psychology and education science (3 ++ years)! If you're interested in tackling with messy social science data with me, pleae apply!

Junior Research Group Leader (m/w/d, E 14 TV-L, 100%) / Postdoctoral Research Fellow (m/w/d, E 13 TV-L, 100%) | Universität Tübingen

#introduction I've been here for a few weeks, but have yet to introduce myself! I'm a #cogneuro & #quantpsych researcher at The University of Utah studying #pain #perception & #emotion with a focus on how perceptual and emotional processes interact over time using #psychophysics #intensivelongitudinalmethods #DynamicSystems #bayesianestimation . Lover of all things time #timeperception #temporalanalysis and quant. I love #Stats & #Programming , and enjoy teaching these methods to others.

In the Neuralink presentation yesterday, Musk put vision restoration front and center. He specifically said this would work for the congenitally blind because they still have a visual cortex.

Two hundred years of experiments on site restoration in human, and many fundamental cellular experiments of visual development and the limits of adult plasticity, show this is false.

I hope Neuralink picks a better goal for the advanced technology they are building.
