Tobias Egner, professor and chair of Psychology and Neuroscience, has been recognized with a Mid-Career Award from the British Association for Cognitive Neuroscience (BACN).
Each year, BACN awards a mid-level career award to researchers with 10-25 years of post-Ph.D. experience who have contributed high-standard and pioneering work to the field of cognitive neuroscience.
Egner’s research applies an integrative cognitive neuroscience approach to understand adaptive behavior. One of his lab’s main areas of research is in adaptive cognition — the mechanisms that allow our brains to use experience and context to predict what stimulus lies ahead. Another major line of research relates to cognitive control — the study of how humans adapt cognitive processing strategies to changing circumstances. He obtained his Ph.D. at the University of London in 2002.
As a Mid-Career awardee, Egner was one of the highlighted speakers at BANC’s annual conference, held in London on September 10-11, 2024.
