Jan Nasemann studied psychology at the Paris Lodron University of Salzburg and gained his PhD from the Graduate School of Systemic Neuroscience (GSN-LMU) at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich. His work focused on the mechanisms that regulate how we distribute attention across different sensory modalities. After graduating, he joined the Haiku & Brain Research Group, where he brings the same methodologies (eye-movement recording combined with EEG and functional magnetic resonance imaging) to the study of haiku reading.
