Max Levinson

I aim to understand how human brain activity gives rise to subjective, or conscious, perceptual experiences. I use a variety of cognitive neuroscience techniques including multimodal neuroimaging (fMRI, MEG, EEG). My current research emphasizes visual perception and the interactions between eye movements and neural processing.

I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow working with Biyu He at the Institute for Translational Neuroscience, New York University.

I received my PhD in Neuroscience from McGill University in 2024, advised by Sylvain Baillet. There I used a visual illusion called perceptual filling-in to probe the brain processes underlying conscious vision.
