Martin Maier works as a postdoctoral researcher in SCIoI project 08, “Knowledge-augmented face perception,” bridging the gap between human and synthetic face processing.
Martin is excited to bring his background in experimental psychology into SCIoI’s interdisciplinary team. He hopes to create novel paradigms to explore how humans and machines can draw on prior knowledge and context to improve visual perception. Martin’s previous work revealed influences of language on fundamental aspects of perception and was awarded by the Cognitive Science Society with the prestigious Glushko Dissertation Prize, as well as the ‘Dissertationspreis Adlershof’.
