 Christof Koch obtained his Ph.D. in Tuebingen, Germany in 1982 in (bio)-physics with a minor in Philosophy. After a four year sojourn at MIT, he joined the California Institute of Technology, where he is the Lois and Victor Troendle Professor of Cognitive and Behavioral Biology.
His laboratory focuses on experimental and computational research pertaining to the biophysics and neurophysiology of neurons, and the neuronal correlates of selective visual attention, awareness and consciousness in the mammalian brain.
With Dr. Francis Crick at the Salk Institute, he has been working on discovering the neuronal correlates of consciousness in the primate brain.

Robert Knight | Advisor
 Robert T. Knight, M.D., is the Evan Rauch Professor of Neuroscience and Director of the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute at the University of California, Berkeley.
His laboratory studies the contribution of subregions of human prefrontal cortex to the control of cognitive and social behavior. The lab employs electrophysiological, MRI and behavioral techniques in neurological patients with frontal lobe damage in an effort to understand the neural mechanisms of cognitive processing.
