I studied computer engineering and cognitive science in Tehran, worked in Iran and then joined Neurasmus for my Master's in neuroscience. Books: J.D.Salinger's; Movies: Space Odyssey, the tree of life and Blade Runner What else? Maths, Philosophy of mind, recently “information theory” and also writing. And of course, I do love neuroscience (Inspiration: Sapolsky and Friston). I love to explore and experience. That is why I am doing science. Science is fun and what else is fun? Traveling and living in different cities with different cultures. That was what Neurasmus gave me. Great combination of science and life experience in Europe and also a great network of like-minded people.My goal as a researcher: Bridge the gap between computational, cognitive, and behavioral neuroscience.
