Rate My Professor Dragan Rangelov

Rangelov's research focuses on the neural and psychological mechanisms of human sensory perception, decision-making, and memory. He investigates how the brain integrates sensory information for perceptual decisions, with emphasis on visual attention, working memory precision, evidence accumulation, metacognition, sensory adaptation, and attentional dynamics. Employing psychophysics, EEG, and fMRI, his studies reveal patterns of neural activity linked to sensory stimuli and decision processes. Key publications include 'Integrated Perceptual Decisions Rely on Parallel Evidence Accumulation' (The Journal of Neuroscience, 2024, with Julia Fellrath and Jason B. Mattingley); 'Intrinsic Functional Networks for Distinct Sources of Error in Visual Working Memory' (Cerebral Cortex, 2024, with Xuqian Li et al.); 'Distinct Early and Late Neural Mechanisms Regulate Feature-Specific Sensory Adaptation in the Human Visual System' (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2023, with Reuben Rideaux et al.); 'On Second Thoughts: Changes of Mind in Decision-Making' (Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2022, with Caleb Stone and Jason B. Mattingley); 'Stimulus Reliability Automatically Biases Temporal Integration of Discrete Perceptual Targets in the Human Brain' (The Journal of Neuroscience, 2021); and 'Evidence Accumulation During Perceptual Decision-Making is Sensitive to the Dynamics of Attentional Selection' (NeuroImage, 2020). These contributions have advanced insights into adaptive behaviour, cognitive control, and neural plasticity in perceptual and economic decision contexts.
