She directed laboratories previously at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix and at University College London in the UK. She received her postdoctoral training from Nobel Laureate Prof. David Hubel at Harvard Medical School, where she was later an Instructor in Neurobiology.
Much of Martinez-Conde’s research focuses on how our brains create perceptual and cognitive illusions in everyday life. Martinez-Conde has researched the connection between art and visual science, as well as the mechanisms underlying the perception of art. Read more about the work of Dr. Martinez-Conde.
