Bio

Soukhin earned his Doctor of Philosophy in Perception, Cognition and Cognitive Neuroscience from the University of California Davis in 2025. He is currently a visiting scholar to the Center for Mind and Brain. He is working on the neural correlates of cross-modal perception, focusing on how the Ventral Attention Network (VAN) manages violations in expectations and attention in different modalities. In addition to that, he express a keen interest in how the primate visual system processes relevant information during focused attention, and how these mechanisms can be implemented in modern state-of-the-art deep neural networks to improve their performance.
