Michael Posner can be considered as one of the foremost figures in
Psychology of the last 50 years. He has been one of the driving forces
behind the analysis of psychological processes in its different components
and functions, in order to come to a better understanding of the relation
between brain and behavior. It is generally recognized that his research and
ideas have contributed substantially to the fast expansion of research in
cognitive neuroscience. His most widely recognized work lies in the area of
attention research, for which he has received numerous national and
international scientific awards.

 

On Wednesday, November 28th, Michael Posner (Prof. Em. University of Oregon,
US) will receive the degree of honorary doctor at the 'Vrije Universiteit
Brussel' (VUB). The day after, Thursday, November 29th, from 13h30 to 18h00

Hommel (Leiden University, The Netherlands), and representatives from 3
