Plenary Lecture 3:
"Imaging brain and behaviour in freely moving mammals"
Speaker:
Jason Kerr (Max Planck Institute for Metabolism Research, Cologne)
The long-term goal of Jason Kerr's research is to understand how mammals make decisions based on the sense of sight, and what neurobiological mechanisms underlie this process. Originally from New Zealand, he joined the Heidelberg Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Medical Research in 2003, and then became head of the "Network Imaging Group" at the MPI for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen. Since 2013, he has been the Director of the Department of Brain and Behavior. In addition, Jason is also appointed as a Scientific Member of the Max Planck Society and is a member of the MPI for Metabolism Research, Cologne.
