Dejan Draschkow is an Associate Professor at the University of Oxford’s Department of Experimental Psychology and Tutorial Fellow at Brasenose College. His research focuses on understanding how cognition operates during naturalistic behavior, particularly the interplay between memory and attention. He leads the Adaptive Behaviour & Cognition Lab, investigating memory formation across timescales and its guidance of behavior. Key methods include Virtual Reality, EEG, and open reproducible practices. Dr. Draschkow teaches statistical methods and experimental design at both undergraduate and graduate levels, recognized for his 2021 Early Career Excellent Teacher Award. Affiliations include the Oxford Centre for Human Brain Activity (OHBA) and the Wellcome Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging (WIN). Research interests center on spatial cognition, memory representation, and contextual influences on attention. Notable work includes defining scene grammar effects on search efficiency and advocating for methodological rigor in neuroimaging and behavioral research. He collaborates widely, including with the Icelandic Vision Lab on statistical distribution learning and co-authoring consensus papers on visual distraction and BIDS standards. His lab’s infrastructure advocacy extends to promoting XR technologies for enhancing experimental validity. Key Awards: Early Career Excellent Teacher Award (2021), YAVIS Teaching Prize (student-voted) Grants: Supported by Medical Sciences Division Teaching Excellence Award and St John’s College Teaching Innovation Fund Labs/Teams: Adaptive Behaviour & Cognition Lab, Brain & Cognition Lab Future research priorities include sensorimnemonic decision mechanisms and long-term memory’s role in spontaneous behavior. Ongoing projects explore memory usage trade-offs between sensory input and stored representations, with implications for cognitive neuroscience and educational technology.
