Visiting Scholars

Dr. Illia Kuznietsov

Dr. Illia Kuznietsov is a Visiting Scholar in the Laboratory for Computational Cognitive Neuroscience. Illia represents the department of Human and Animal Physiology at Volyn National University, Lutsk, Ukraine. As an Assistant Professor at VNU he teaches Medical Informatics, Neuroinformatics, Mathematical Modelling in Biology and Medicine, and runs EEG/ERP studies. His research interests lie primarily in the fields of neuroeconomics, consciousness, neurofeedback, and effective connectivity in the brain. At Purdue Illia will conduct an EEG study on the relations between working memory performance and types of social behavior. Dr. Kuznietsov can be reached at ikuzniet@purdue.edu.
