Professors Glyn Humphreys and Jane Riddoch from Birmingham University visit IBP as CAS’ Senior International Scientists

Author: International Liaison Office of IBP Update time: 2011-03-18

 Under the support of CAS Visiting Professorships for Senior International Scientists, Professors Glyn Humphreys and Jane Riddoch from Birmingham University visited the Institute of Biophysics (IBP) on March 13, 2011 and will conduct collaborative research with academician Lin Chen and his group in the coming two months.

 
 Professor Glyn Humphreys
Both Professors Humphreys and Riddoch are internationally renowned cognitive neuropsychologists. Professor Humphreys is one of the leading scientists in visual cognition, including visual attention, visual object recognition, and the relationship between perception and action. He has published over 500 journal papers and has written 16 books. In recent years, he has become a leading expert in human brain mapping, relating cognitive models to brain activities using PET and fMRI. Professor Riddoch is also a renowned cognitive scientist working in visual disorders, including disorders in attention and action, as well as neuropsychological rehabilitation. She was the President of the Birth Neuropsychology Society.

Academician Lin Chen is very active in international cooperation and has developed successful collaboration with many international institutions. He and Professors Humphreys and Riddoch share research interests in perceptual organization in vision. They have collaborated in related areas for many years. As Academician Chen is known internationally for his global-first topological perception theory, and Professors Humphreys and Riddoch are well known for their research on grouping effects in visual search and neuropsychological disorders of vision and attention, their collaboration links together topological perception theory with neuropsychological expertise. During their visit, Professors Humphreys and Riddoch will conduct joint brain imaging studies examining how temporal course in visual search is modulated by topological and Gestalt-grouping factors in both normal subjects and patients with brain lesions.
