Senior🎓
Top SchoolTimothy Brady is a cognitive scientist and Professor of Psychology at UC San Diego with 14 years of research and faculty experience probing how the human mind encodes, stores, and retrieves visual information. His work bridges cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and computational modeling—using behavioral experiments, signal detection and Bayesian frameworks, and neural data—to build models that capture both the richness and limits of visual working memory and long-term memory. He leads a research group focused on how structured representations and prior expectations shape what we remember and forget, translating theoretical insights into testable models. Trained at MIT (PhD) and Yale (BA), he previously completed a postdoc at Harvard, and his publications are known for combining formal theory with empirical rigor to explain everyday memory phenomena. An uncommon trait in his lab is the emphasis on formalizing “forgetting” processes rather than treating them as mere absence of memory.
