Emmanuel and Mirjam wear their doctoral hats, which represent the contents of their dissertations, e.g. a bed and brain on Mirjam's hat and a brain and globe on Emmanuel's hat.

Congratulations!

Congratulations to Mirjam Studler and Emmanuel Guizar Rosales on successfully obtaining their doctoral degree. In her doctoral thesis, Mirjam used EEG to decode the sleeping mind, while in his doctoral thesis, Emmanuel used fMRI to study the neural basis of sustainable behavior. Both will stay with us a bit longer as postdocs and we couldn’t be happier.
