Balázs Knakker (HU) is a neuroscientist studying how behaviour and cognition are forged in the brain – with non-invasive methods, from a computational and evolutionary perspective. During his PhD, he studied the role of alpha oscillations in the EEG in attention and short-term memory for complex visual objects like printed words or faces. Currently as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Pécs he studies the neurochemical processes and evolutionary roots of human memory and attention.
