Dardo N. Ferreiro
PhD in Neuroscience

Building bridges between neuroscience and experimental psychology. 

Spearheading projects in human and rodent sensory perception, decision making,
and social interaction.

I ask real-world grounded questions and design naturalistic experiments
to investigate them across species with a comparative approach.


My past 

Biologist turned neuroscientist with ample interdisciplinary experience.

Studied in Latin America, now working in Germany.
Supervised projects and students in both continents.

Published peer-reviewed articles in fundamental neurophysiology,  and in both human and rodent behavior and decision making.

My vision 

I believe that the best way forward in the study of neuroscience is with more complex, naturalistic experimental paradigms, and to compare across species.

So I study freely moving gerbils and humans performing naturalistic tasks, to better understand the behavioral and neural basis of sensory perception, as well as decision making, social interaction and event forecasting.
