Freddy Kamps earned his Bachelor's degree in Neuroscience from Macalester College and completed his PhD in Psychology at Emory University under the supervision of Daniel Dilks. He has also worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, collaborating with advisors Rebecca Saxe and Nancy Kanwisher. Kamps will begin his position as a Lecturer at the University of Edinburgh in August 2024. His research focuses on human visual scene perception, aiming to investigate fundamental aspects of human cognition such as how visual scene information is represented in adult brains, how these representations develop from birth to adulthood, and how experience influences changes in these representations. Utilizing methods like functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), infant looking time, and immersive virtual reality stimuli, his work involves various populations, including typically developing adults, neonates, and individuals with Williams syndrome. Ultimately, Kamps's research contributes to understanding how the human brain addresses complex computational problems through the interplay of genetics, development, and experience.
