Federico Segala
Research Associate
Profile
Biography
I completed both my BSc (Hons) Natural Sciences specialising in Neuroscience in 2018 and my MSc in Cognitive Neuroscience in 2019 at the University of York. For my BSc project I investigated the perception of motion in depth using EEG and for my MSc project I investigated the neural substrates of colour perception using fMRI. From 2019 to 2020 I worked as a research assistant for Dr Daniel Baker and Dr Aurelio Bruno. During this period, I worked on two studies: one investigated the response of the pupils (using an eyetracker) and the brain (using EEG) to flickering light and the other investigated the temporal aspects of gaze perception.
