Mariana Babo RebeloMy research in cognitive neuroscience investigates different aspects of self-consciousness and subjective experience, using neuroimaging and behavioral methods.
During my PhD with Dr Catherine Tallon-Baudry (ENS, Paris), I studied the neural monitoring of cardiac signals, as a physiological mechanism underlying self-consciousness. Then, I looked at how subjective experience can entail egocentric spatial representations, in the context of a virtual museum visit, during my post-doc with Prof Patrick Haggard (UCL, London).
I also have experience with MEG and intracranial EEG, acquired during my PhD and during my post-doc with Dr Nathalie George (Paris Brain Institute) and Prof Aina Puce (Indiana University).
Currently, I am a post-doc with Prof Olaf Blanke at the LNCO, and I am working on action, memory and first/third person perspective.
Alessandro NestiI joined the Swiss Data Science Center at EPFL in March 2019 as a data scientist focused on industry collaborations. Our mission is to support corporates in leveraging the power of their data by adopting analytical approaches and data-centric solutions. My background is in biomedical engineering and I hold a PhD in neuroscience from the University of Tübingen. Before joining the center, I worked as a postdoc at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics, at the EPFL Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience in Geneva, and as data scientist for a private ecommerce company.
