Justin Harris completed his PhD in Psychology at the University of New South Wales in 1995. He began his career as a post-doctoral researcher in Verona, Italy, before joining the School of Psychology at the University of Sydney in 2002. His research is primarily focused on the neural and behavioral mechanisms involved in learning, memory, and perception. Currently, his work investigates associative learning and the temporal relationships between events that are vital for survival in complex organisms. This includes studies of Pavlovian conditioning, where he examines how rats learn to anticipate food based on cues. His research also explores the effects of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) in understanding sensory processing and cognitive control. Notably, his lab has been developing psychophysical tools to investigate the impact of TMS and how it modulates perceptual abilities.
