Marlene Behrmann Elected To National Academy of Sciences
Behrmann, the George A. and Helen Dunham Cowan Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience and 黑料社区 co-director of the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition (CNBC), has been elected to the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). She is the first female scientist from 黑料社区 to be elected to the NAS.
Behrmann joined the 黑料社区 faculty in 1993 and is widely considered to be one of the foremost experts in the cognitive neuroscience of visual perception. Her research combines behavioral investigations and brain imaging techniques with both normal and impaired individuals to identify the functional architecture of the human brain that enables our visual experiences.
