Justin Gardner received his BS degree in Computer Science from Yale University in 1993, and PhD in Bioengineering from the University of California, Berkeley and UCSF in 2002. After post-doctoral work at the RIKEN Brain Science Institute and New York University, he returned to RIKEN in 2009 to become an independent investigator in the position of a Unit Leader. He was an adjunct associate professor at the University of Tokyo from 2011-2014. He moved to the Psychology Department at Stanford University in 2014 and is currently an associate professor there. His primary research interests are in how prior information affects visual perception in humans and studies this by using computational models to link behavioral measures of perception to underlying cortical activity as measured with functional imaging.
