I'm Phivos and I am a cognitive (neuro)scientist. In the lab, I make people play video games, and then I zap their brains with magnetic pulses to understand how memory works.
Biosketch
I am currently a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral fellow at the University of Nevada, Reno and the Cyprus University of Technology.
I obtained my BSc in Psychology, from Frederick University in 2019, where I graduated as the Valedictorian. In 2023, I received my PhD from the Department of Rehabilitation Sciences at the Cyprus University of Technology. Between 2023-2025, I worked as a Postdoctoral Associate at Western University & the Gray Centre for Mobility and Activity, at St. Joseph's Healthcare.
I am curious about the neuroscientific basis of cognitive processes. In detail, I am keen on investigating the neurologically healthy or damaged brain to discover basic neuroscientific evidence about perception, memory, and attention, with the use of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques, eye-tracking, brain imaging, and behavioral experiments. I also promote science communication and open science practices.
