Prof. Dr. Martin Rolfs
https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8214-8556
Martin Rolfs chairs the Active Perception and Cognition group at the Department of Psychology. He studied Psychology at Potsdam University (Diploma in 2003) and obtained his PhD in 2007 (summa cum laude). For his dissertation, he received the Heinz-Heckhausen prize of the German Psychological Society in 2008. From 2008 to 2012, he was a postdoc at Université Paris Descartes, and Marie Curie fellow at New York University and Aix-Marseille University. In 2012, he established an Emmy Noether group at the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience Berlin. In 2018, he started a DFG-funded Heisenberg professorship at the Department of Psychology. In 2019, he was awarded an ERC Consolidator grant for the project "VIS-À-VIS: How visual action shapes active vision".
Rolfs is a PI at the Exzellenzcluster Science of Intelligence, the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience Berlin, the Berlin School of Mind and Brain, and the Einstein Center for Neurosciences Berlin.
