Marta Ângelo - Research Assistant
Marta Ângelo holds a BSc in Biomedical Engineering, from Instituto Superior Técnico, and an MSc in Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence from Tilburg University. During her MSc thesis, she worked on a comparative study between BOLD and dfMMRI for layer-specificity in the visual cortex, using connective-field and population receptive field modelling. She spent 10 months in Amsterdam, completing a traineeship in 'Research and Innovation in Health Informatics'.
She is currently a research assistant at the Universidade de Coimbra, in Joana Carvalho's lab at CogBooster, starting to potentially explore visual prediction and artificial scotomas, using multivariate, machine learning and other computational approaches to fMRI data.
