ABOUT KATJA HEUER
I use neuroimaging and histology to study the evolution and development of the brain. I am particularly interested in brain folding and the emergence of brain organisation, which I study using advanced computational neuroanatomy and phylogenetic comparative methods, using large samples of vertebrate species, in particular non-human primates. I am strongly involved in open, reproducible, science and interdisciplinary research: I develop open Web applications to facilitate access to open data, foster collaboration & citizen science (such as https://brainbox.pasteur.fr, https://microdraw.pasteur.fr, https://brain-web.github.io). I have a background in fine arts and in many of my projects I combine art and science as a way to engage with the general public (https://katjaq.github.io/index.html#art).
