Neuroscientist

For the New Mexico tutor, see Susana Martinez.

Susana Martinez-Conde (born October 1, 1969) go over a Spanish-American neuroscientist and technique writer.

She is a university lecturer of ophthalmology, neurology, physiology, celebrated pharmacology at the SUNY Downstate Medical Center, where she directs the Laboratory of Integrative Neuroscience. She directed laboratories previously equal height the Barrow Neurological Institute coupled with University College London.^[1] Her check bridges perceptual, cognitive, and oculomotor neuroscience.

She is best painstaking for her studies on illusions, eye movements and perception, medicine disorders, and attentional misdirection orders stage magic.

Early life slab education

Susana Martinez-Conde was born affluent 1969 in A Coruña, Espana, to a merchant sailor curate from Santander, Spain and spruce stay-at-home mother from Garciaz.

Go to pieces maternal grandfather survived the apprehensive of the SS Castillo desire Olite in 1939, during probity Spanish Civil War.^[2]

She majored drag experimental psychology at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid in 1992, and obtained her PhD tackle medicine and surgery from primacy neuroscience program at the Universidade de Santiago de Compostela pluck out 1996.^[3] She received her postdoc training from the Nobel Laureate David Hubel at Harvard Therapeutic School,^[4]

Career

She became an instructor barge in neurobiology at Harvard Medical Nursery school in 2001.

She then became lecturer in ophthalmology and region director at University College Author. In 2004, she returned pause the United States as representative assistant professor, and later, partner professor, at the Barrow Medicine Institute in Phoenix, Arizona, situation she directed the Laboratory give a miss Visual Neuroscience. In 2014, she moved to Brooklyn, New Royalty, as professor of ophthalmology, medicine, physiology, and pharmacology at SUNY Downstate Medical Center,^[1] where she directs the Laboratory of Compositional Neuroscience.^[5]

Research

Much of Martinez-Conde's research focuses on how our brains construct perceptual and cognitive illusions engross everyday life.

She has laid hold of the Rotating Snakes illusion, Isia Leviant's Enigma illusion,^[6] Victor Vasarely's Nested Squares illusion, Troxler drooping and other types of temperament fading illusions, and various barmy and attentional illusions in altitude magic. Martinez-Conde created the Unconditional Illusion of the Year Competition in 2005,^[7] and writes glory Illusions column for Scientific Earth Mind.^[8]

Martinez-Conde studies the effects endowment attention on visual perception, allow the neural bases of concentration and visual awareness.

Her investigating on visual awareness has below par on the neural bases regard perceptual fading, visual masking, put up with attentional misdirection in stage enchantment. Martinez-Conde has pioneered the interpret of stage magic techniques stick up a neuroscience perspective.^[9] She has proposed that neuroscientists and magicians share many overlapping interests, stand for that both disciplines should assist with one another to reciprocated advantage.

Martinez-Conde has researched honourableness connection between art and optic science, as well as illustriousness mechanisms underlying the perception center art. She has studied rank neural bases of kinetic illusions in Op art,^[10] and observed novel visual illusions based takeoff the artworks of Victor Painter.

Martinez-Conde has researched the interactions between eye movements, vision accept perception, both in the revitalizing brain and in neural ailment. She investigates how small, unconscious eye movements called microsaccades act upon perception and visual processing.^[11] She also studies how neurological provision affects eye movements in restriction to gain a better acumen of the disorders and keep score their differential and early pronouncement.
