ABOUT ME
My name is Michal Vavrecka and I work as an assistant profesor at the Czech Technical University, Prague. I finished the MA degree in Psychology at the Faculty of Arts at the Masaryk University in Brno (2005) and Ph.D. degree in General Psychology at Faculty of Social Studies (2008). My diploma thesis was focused on the comparison of human and artificial intelligence and the doctoral thesis was dedicated to the cognitive semantics and its application in the area of spatial navigation. The empirical part consisted of neural network model for spatial prepositions representation. Here is my CV.
