Dr. Martin Constant — Post-Doc at University of Geneva

I finished my PhD at the Graduate School of Systemic Neurosciences of the LMU München in December 2022.

My PhD supervisor was Heinrich R. Liesefeld.

I'm now a Post-Doc at the University of Geneva, working with Dirk Kerzel.

My current research topic is to understand how salience influences the encoding of information into visual working memory.

Aside from this topic, my main interests are about methodological and statistical issues in experimental psychology.
