British professor studies Jennifer Aniston. Lucky bloke!

Science - Biology



Dr. Quiroga stated, "One of the major scientific challenges of our days is to understand how information is represented by neurons in the brain. Although there has been spectacular progress in the last few decades, we are still far from comprehending, for example, how visual inputs are processed to create a conscious perception." [Medical News Today]

"Our main research interest is to study these principles of Neural Coding. Moreover, since complex behaviour is encoded by the activity of large populations of neurons, we are working on the development of advanced methods to extract useful information from these data." [Medical News Today]

He added, “I am examining how information about the external world (what we see, hear, touch) and our own internal representations (e.g. memories, emotions, etc.) is represented by neurons in the brain. For example, we can easily recognize a person in a fraction of a second, even when seen from different angles, with different sizes, colours, contrasts and under strikingly different conditions."

"But how neurons in the brain are capable of creating such an 'abstract' representation, disregarding basic visual details, is only starting to be known."


This work has important applications in the development of devices such as robotic arms and legs for paralyzed persons and for treatment of people with such conditions as epilepsy and Alzheimer’s disease.

In fact, I feel much better after viewing Jennifer Aniston's website.

I think Dr. Quiroga's research is wonderful! He is a true humanitarian!
