About Me

Dylan Jensen completed his bachelor’s degree in neuroscience while also majoring in psychology at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. His academic journey sparked a passion for systems neuroscience, leading him to pursue a PhD in neuroscience at the University of Utah in the Davis Lab. He is broadly interested in understanding the dynamic mechanisms of attention and their influence on cortical systems. Specifically, Dylan's research focuses on the role of attention/cortical circuit interactions in perception, decision-making, and consciousness, as well as its implications for retinal degeneration and disorders like ADHD. One of his influences is that the philosophy of science and the mind should not be overlooked by scientists, as it provides a critical means for a deeper understanding of the questions that guide our interests.
