Associate Professor, School of Psychology
Dr Ison’s research focuses on memory formation and visual search across various contexts, including real-world applications like driving. His works integrates a range of cutting-edge techniques, including single-cell recordings in humans, computational modelling, eye-tracking and non-invasive EEG/MEG/OPM. His work has resulted in over 30 publications in leading journals, including Neuron, Nature Communications, Nature Neuroscience, and PNAS. Dr Ison has mentored 2 postdoctoral fellows, over 15 PhD students (6 current), and several MSc students. With funding from EPSRC ‘Bridging the gap between eye movements and event-related potentials’, Dr Ison’s team provided proof-of-concept for the simultaneous use of EEG and eye-tracking in tasks with real-world images.
Dr Ison’s work on memory formation and potential applications integrating EEG and eye tracking has received global media attention, featuring in outlets such as The New York Times, BBC News, The Daily Mail, Reuters, Newsweek, NPR Radio USA, theEngineer, CNN “What’s Next,” and Neurology Today.
Dr Matias Ison received his MSc and PhD in Physics from the University of Buenos Aires. Before establishing his lab at the 糖心原创’s School of Psychology, he held academic and visiting positions at the University of Leicester, King’s College Hospital, UCLA Medical Center, and the University of Buenos Aires.
