{{AFC comment|1=Well done on creating the draft, and it ''may'' potentially meet the relevant requirements (including ], ], ]) but presently does not.

  • Comment: Well done on creating the draft, and it may potentially meet the relevant requirements (including WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO, WP:PROF) but presently does not. As other reviewers have noted, Misplaced Pages's basic requirement for entry is that the subject is notable . Essentially subjects are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. To properly create such a draft page, please see referencing for beginners. Note that several of the sources are article by the subject, not about the subject.

Travis Meyer, PhD (born ????) is an American neuroscientist, programmer, and engineer at the University of Pennsylvania. He studies the neural coding of learning and memory, and builds integrative neuroscience systems.

Education and early career

Meyer received his Bachelors of Science from Florida Atlantic University in 2002, with an honors thesis under Steven Bressler. He then went on to receive his PhD in n from Wake Forest Medical Center under the mentorship of Christos Constantinidis and Terry Stanford. There, his work focused on how the primate brain processing visual information for space and objects in different areas of the prefrontal cortex. Early in his career, Meyer received the Norman M. Sulkin Award and the Elsevier/Vision Research Award in and the prestigious National Research Service Award.

Career and research

Meyer completed postdoctoral work at Carnegie Mellon University between 2008 and 2014 in the laboratory of Carl R Olson where he worked in biomedical engineering and discovered implicit statistical learning in Primate visual systems. Meyer joined the University of Pennsylvania where he is the senior research lead for visual memory research in 2015.

Reception

Meyer's work, and that of his group, are recognized as leaders in the field of visual memory neuroscience with international awards, funding from the Mcknight Foundation, and the Simons Foundation, and the most widely read Scientific journals. The research has been the subject of numerous podcasts, Scientific news outlets Medical News, Technology, International Press and Financial news.
