Ezequiel Morsella

A theoretician and experimentalist in neuroscience, Ezequiel Morsella received his Ph.D. at Columbia University (2002) and carried out his postdoctoral training (2003 - 2007) at Yale University. Since his pre-college days, he has been focusing on the contrast between the conscious (e.g., urges and voluntary action) and unconscious brain mechanisms in human action control, thanks in large part to stumbling across a pile of old books by Hebb and Hull. All of his publications, experimental paradigms, and theoretical developments center around the theme of the nature of involuntary (versus voluntary) "entry into consciousness" during action control.
