Autorenporträt
Hanspeter A. Mallot received his PhD from the Faculty of Biology, University of Mainz, Germany, in 1986. In the following years, he held postdoctoral and research positions at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Ruhr-University Bochum, the Max-Planck-Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen and the Institute for Advanced Study, Berlin. From 2000 to 2023, he headed the cognitive neuroscience unit at the University of Tübingen, where he is currently affiliated as a senior professor. Hanspeter has published more than 100 papers and three books on topics of visual perception, spatial cognition, and neural information processing.
