Louis Vinke, PhD received his doctorate in Computational Neuroscience from Boston University. His PhD research focused on how visuocortical activity varies across relative and absolute feature dimensions, and employing adaptation as a tool to measure complex population response functions. Currently, he is studying how non-verbal processes important for social communication and motivation differ between clinical and healthy populations, how these processes are supported by basic visual processing, and whether various functional neuroimaging measures can serve as objective markers of these deficits, while also contributing to a systems-level understanding of social behavior.
