Linda Garami

Linda Garami is interested in the common principles underlying the emergence of abstract representations in sensory processing. She studied human perception and cognition in the linguistic domain, focusing on attention, short-term memory, and bi-stable linguistic perception (RRI, Toronto). She has investigated the neuronal code for regularity and violations of expectation in the auditory cortex (UPENN), as well as the role of neural variability in cortical dynamics (PPKE). She is currently pursuing a two-year postdoctoral fellowship under the European Union’s Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) programme, studying pattern processing in visual and auditory modalities and the computational links between sensory processing principles and probabilistic coding.

 

She is passionate about facilitating events that increase public awareness of and access to science and basic research for all ages, including career fairs, public lectures, and science demonstrations.
