Michał Ociepka

Dr. Michał Ociepka is an Adjunct Professor at the Department of Cognitive Science within the Faculty of Philosophy at Jagiellonian University. His research focuses on the cognitive and neurophysiological mechanisms underlying fluid intelligence and complex cognitive functions, particularly the neural foundations of reasoning and working memory.

• Education: Master's in Computer Science, PhD in Psychology

He employs behavioral experiments, psychometric methods, and advanced neuroimaging techniques such as EEG, fNIRS, and tACS. His work includes computational modeling, machine learning applications, and development of analytical tools for cognitive neuroscience.

His recent research trends include the role of theta/gamma oscillations in fluid intelligence, temporal predictability effects on motor inhibition, and semantic distractibility in schizophrenia. He also contributes to methodological advancements like the Graph Mapping test for fluid reasoning assessment.
