Hi! I’m Laura, PhD candidate in MIAlab. After completing my BSc in Cognitive AI and my MSc in Cognitive Neuroscience at Utrecht University (NL), I am excited to be part of MIAlab. My core topic is the Perception of Causality. I am investigating the role of elementary causality detectors in the early visual system for detecting causal interactions. To this end, I use visual adaptation protocols. Outside of the lab, you might catch me taking afro dance classes, enjoying watersports, or improving my German.
