Olga Fehér has joined the LEC on a prestigious Newton Fellowship. Olga is most famous for her research on zebra finches, in which she implemented for the first time an experimentally-controlled analog of cultural transmission of song from an initial non-typical starting point. In essence, this was experimental iterated learning of bird song. You can read more about this at the Nature blog related to her paper.

At the LEC, Olga hopes to expand her expertise to humans, with the ultimate aim of improving our understanding of the similarities and differences between iterated learning in birds and humans. We’re very excited to welcome her here!
