Oliver Hardt
Oliver Hardt is a behavioural neuroscientist whose work reframes forgetting as a fundamental, actively regulated facet of memory. Although most memories are eventually forgotten, we are just beginning to understand how and why the brain forgets.
He leads a research group that probes the neurobiology of memory maintenance and forgetting in a broad range of ways, from manipulating neurons in specific brain areas of rodents to computer-based assessments of human memory. He is also a Research Fellow at the University of Edinburgh’s Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences.
