معرفی
Serge O. Dumoulin is a Professor of Perception, Cognition, and Neuroscience at Utrecht University and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. He leads the Computational Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging group at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience and serves as Director of the Spinoza Centre for Neuroimaging, a collaborative facility involving KNAW, AMC, VUMC, and VU Amsterdam.
- Education: M.Sc. in Biology (Utrecht University), Ph.D. in Neurology and Neurosurgery (McGill University)
Research focuses on the intersection of perception, cognition, and neuroimaging, particularly the human visual system. He employs ultra-high field (7T) fMRI, computational modeling, and behavioral studies to explore neural mechanisms of visual perception, attention, and numerical cognition. His work has applications in clinical disorders and methodological advancements like the pRF method, used globally in 100+ institutions.
Publications span neuroscience, neuroimaging, and cognitive processes, with a 2023 Advances in MRI Technology paper emphasizing gray-matter optimized fMRI. His 2018 Neuroimage article discusses systematic pRF variations, while a 2021 PNAS study links divisive normalization to visual hierarchy.
- Awards: Ammodo KNAW Award (2015), NWO Vidi/Vici grants, Neuroimage Editors' Choice Award (2013)
Teaching includes courses at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam on perception, neuroscience, and fMRI data analysis. He emphasizes coding (Matlab/Python) in student internships.
