Keita Tamura

K. Tamura is a Marie Curie Fellow at EPFL in Lausanne. He received BS in biophysics from Kyoto University, and MS and PhD in physiology from The University of Tokyo. In Tokyo, he combined optogenetics and psychophysics in macaque monkeys, and revealed that the perirhinal cortex causally drives subjective judgments of visual memory. In Lausanne, he has been studying how contextual judgements disconnect and reconnect causal brain circuits by combining optogenetics and calcium imaging in mice.
