Professor Dr. J W Kurzawski

Biography

J.W. Kurzawski conducts research utilizing behavioral neuroimaging methods combined with computational modeling to explore individual differences in visual tasks and their neural substrates. He primarily employs population receptive field (pRF) models, diffusion MRI, and magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) in his inquiries into the visual cortex. His expertise spans psychophysics, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and computational modelling. Kurzawski's career includes positions as Assistant Professor at Maastricht University in the Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience, where he is currently engaged in advancing the study of visual neuroscience and brain-computer interfaces. Before this role, he completed a postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Psychology at New York University. He earned his PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Florence, and holds a Master's degree in Biomedical Image Sciences from the University of Bergen, and a Bachelor's in Biomedical Engineering from the Technical University of Lodz. Throughout his academic journey, he has contributed significantly to understanding the intersections of cognitive neuroscience and visual processing.
