Apurva Ratan Murty is currently a Research Scientist at the Center for Brains, Minds, and Machines, McGovern Institute of Brain Research, Massachusetts Institute of Technology with Nancy Kanwisher and Jim DiCarlo.
He is broadly interested in understanding the neural basis of visual object recognition in humans and non-human primates. He obtained his PhD from the Centre for Neuroscience, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore – India, where he was advised by S.P. Arun. Over the course of his research at IISc, he investigated the dynamics of invariant object representations in macaques. In 2021 he received two awards –the NIH K99/R00 ‘Pathway to Independence’ from National Eye Institute, and the Young Systems Scientist Award – National Systems Society of India. His latest publication is: Ratan Murty, N.A., Bashivan, P., Abate, A., DiCarlo, J., Kanwisher, N. (2021). Computational models of category-selective brain regions enable high-throughput tests of selectivity. Nature Communications 2021, 12:5540. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-25409-6
