Jonni Hirvonen, PhD
Jonni joined the group in 2011 to study neuronal and behavioural scaling laws, and obtained a master's degree in physiology in 2013. He then researched somatosensory awareness in healthy subjects and face recognition deficits in schizophrenia patients for his doctoral studies and graduated with his PhD in 2018.
He now is studying medicine at Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden.
