Malak Nasr is a Master’s student in the Neurasmus European Joint Master’s in Neuroscience, completing her thesis at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics, where she investigates inter-individual variability in conscious perception. Her research examines how neural activity and connectivity patterns shape differences in perceptual sensitivity, building on prior work in computational modeling of cortical dynamics and behavioral neuroscience. Broadly, she is interested in how individual variations in brain function give rise to distinct cognitive and perceptual experiences.
