Felipe Viegas Rodrigues

Felipe Viegas Rodrigues is a cognitive neuroscientist working at the intersection of education and neuroscience within the Graduate Program in Education at the Universidade do Oeste Paulista (Unoeste), where he serves as vice-coordinator. His research program focuses on attention, memory, and learning processes, which he conducts as director of the Psychophysics Laboratory. The goals of this work include the investigation of: (1) the influence of mental functions on teaching and learning processes, especially executive functions; (2) the processes of memory retention, consolidation, and retrieval; (3) attentional orientation and executive control, including their asymmetries; and (4) self-regulated learning. He also studies attentional changes associated with the development of specific skills (such as formal music education or music cognition - Felipe is also a musician) and the impairments associated with executive dysfunction. He has taught courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and his skills extend to programming in Python, using the PsychoPy software to develop the lab's experimental protocols. Felipe is also a member of the research group "Construction of subjectivity processes in the school context" (CNPq). He holds a D.Sc. degree in Physiology from the University of São Paulo (USP) and is a biologist from UNESP/Botucatu. Music is his greatest hobby, which fortunately he can enjoy while analyzing data.
