Magnus S. Magnusson, PhD
Magnus S. Magnusson is the creator of the T-pattern model and analysis and the author of the THEMETM Behavior Research software. He currently serves as a Research Professor at the University of Iceland, and is the founder and director of its Human Behavior Laboratory. He has worked as an invited professor at the Psychological Laboratory of University René Descartes Paris V in the Sorbonne, where in 1995 a formal inter-university collaboration convention was initiated with the T-Pattern model and analysis as the common reference. It has now been signed by 24 universities in Europe, the U.S. and Mexico. Dr. Magnusson has authored and coauthored numerous papers and chapters in many areas of behavioral and neuroscience including research on humans, animals and neuronal networks in living brains. In 2015 the Journal of Neuroscience Methods published a comprehensive review of his T-Pattern Analysis (TPA) for the analysis of the real-time structure of behavior and interaction, and a paper presenting results of TPA of interactions in neuronal networks in the olfactory bulb. He has given many invited talks at conferences and universities across the world.
