Łukasz Bola
lukaszbola@fas.harvard.eduAssistant Professor, Institute of Psychology, Polish Academy of Sciences
I use various neuroimaging methods (fMRI, sMRI, TMS) to study organization and plasticity of the brain in people with atypical sensory experience (for example, individuals born deaf or blind, or sighted subjects taught how to read with their hands – using...

Caterina Magri
cmagri@fas.harvard.eduQuantitative UX Researcher at Google
I’m interested in exploring the neural basis of conceptual knowledge regarding objects. More specifically, I’m investigating the organization of object information in the temporal cortex based on both physical characteristics and the degree to which we...

Ella Striem-Amit
striemamit@fas.harvard.eduAssistant Professor at Georgetown University Department of Neuroscience
I study the way being born deprived of a sensory modality (for example, being born blind or deaf) affects brain organization and cognition. Studying people born blind, deaf or dysmelic (born without hands) helps learn about how sensory (or motor)...
Gilles Vannuscorps
gilles.vannuscorps@unitn.itAssistant Professor at UCLouvain Department of Psychology
Every day, we see dozens of objects having a particular shape, color, motion and so forth as well as people raising their arms, turning their wrists, opening their mouths and grasping objects. Immediately, and without conscious effort, we identify these...
