Education and early career

Dr. 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 Neuroscience 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, Dr. Meyer received the Norman M. Sulkin Award and the Elsevier/Vision Research Award in and the prestigious National Research Service Award.

Career and research

Dr. 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. Dr. Meyer joined the University of Pennsylvania where he is the Senior Research Lead for Visual Memory research in 2015, which has since won International awards, the prestigious Mcknight Foundation, and the Simons Foundation.

Reception

Dr. 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.
