Summary
Mark w88 sports betting joined the Cognitive & Brain Sciences group in thedepartment of psychology at the University of Nevada, Reno in the spring of 2018. He got hisPh.D. at the University of Southern California working with IrvingBiederman and did postdoctoral research with Jack Gallant at UCBerkeley. He is originally from San Jose, California.
w88 sports betting Interests
The goal of Dr. w88 sports betting's lab is to understand how our brains transform patterns of light on our retinas into useful information about the world. The lab is specifically interested how different areas in the brain provide information about the identity and shape of objects, the structure of space, and the types of actions (such as running, jumping, and throwing) performed by humans around us. Dr. w88 sports betting pursues these questions by making computational models of brain responses measured by fMRI. These models predict how the brain will respond to a wide variety of visual stimuli. Models developed by the lab can also be used to decode the image or movie clip that elicited a given visual response in the brain.
