SEEMA PRASAD

Cognitive Scientist

I am a Humboldt research fellow at TU Dresden. I am investigating what curiosity does to our cognition. My work involves conducting experiments in the lab on human participants. I am trying to find better ways of doing those experiments by taking into consideration the context, cultural background and other complexities which shape our minds. 

 

I have a PhD in Cognitive Science from University of Hyderabad, India. My PhD work was on understanding how we attend to information without knowing that we are attending to it. Before I started my PhD in cognitive science, I completed my Master's degree in Physics. I switched fields because I realised I was more curious about people than about inanimate objects. 

​

I write about cognitive science, books, movies, travel and more here.

You can find me on twitter or facebook. Or send a message here.
