Oscar Ferrante
Postdoc
Centre for Human Brain Health, School of Psychology, University of Birmingham, UK
I have completed a MA in Cognitive Psychology at the D'Annunzio University of Chieti–Pescara (Italy) in 2014. In 2017, I have completed a PhD in Neuroscience, Psychological and Psychiatric Sciences at the University of Verona (Italy) investigating how past experiences with task-relevant or interfering items bias visual attention. Currently, I works at the Centre for Human Brain Health, University of Birmingham (UK) where I use magnetoencephalography (MEG) to study visual attention and brain oscillations in the lab of Prof Ole Jensen. I am one of the main contributors of the FLUX pipeline, a standardized pipeline to analyze MEG data (under revision). I am one of the members of the Cogitate adversarial collaboration and my role is to collect and analyze MEG-EEG data.
Oscar’s mainly interested in visual attention, more specifically on how target identification and distractor rejection can be enhanced via statistical learning.
