About the Author

Julia Trommershäuser spent three years as a postdoctoral researcher at New York University. From 2004-2009, she was a researcher in the Department of Psychology at Giessen University, Germany, funded by an Emmy-Noether Research Award by the German Science Foundation (DFG). She currently works at the Center for Neural Science at New York University on questions in the field of human decision-making under risk and uncertainty, trying to understand how the brain
makes use of sensory processing, feedback and prior knowledge.

Konrad Körding is an Assistant Professor at Northwestern University. His lab focuses on the statistical processing of information in the sensorimotor system. He conducts behavioral experiments in humans to ask how people deal with uncertainty and he collaborates with physiologists to ask how the brain does it.

Michael Landy is a Full Professor of Psychology and Neural Science at New York University. His research concerns visual and visuomotor behavior, often comparing human performance to that of a statistically ideal participant. He works in a number of different research areas including spatial visual coding (e.g., texture segmentation), depth perception (including depth cue integration) and movement planning under risk.
