Paul Michael Corballis is a New Zealand cognitive neuroscientist and Professor of Psychology at the University of Auckland. His research focuses on visual perception and attention and uses electrophysiology (EEG/ERPs) and neuroimaging methods. [1] [2]

Early life and education

Corballis is the son of academic psychologist Michael Corballis. [3] He completed a BSc in Psychology (1989) and an MSc in Psychology with First Class Honours (1991) at the University of Auckland. He earned a PhD in Psychology from Columbia University in 1997. [4] [5]

Career

After his doctorate, Corballis held a postdoctoral position in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Dartmouth College. [6] [7] He joined the faculty at the University of Auckland School of Psychology, where he is a Professor of Psychology. [1] In an inaugural lecture hosted by the Faculty of Science he discussed "brain mechanisms of constructive perception." [8]

Corballis studies the neural mechanisms that support selective attention and visual perception, often using event-related potentials such as the N2pc, together with other EEG and neuroimaging techniques. [2] Early in his career he co-authored work demonstrating noninvasive optical imaging of human brain responses during visual stimulation. [9] His later publications and collaborations include work on lateralized ERP components associated with attentional selection. [10]
