Dr. Víctor Gálvez is a research professor in the School of Psychology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico ( Universidad Panamericana), where he also serves as head of the Research Coordination Office and as chair of the Internal Commission for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (CICUAL) of the Faculty of Health Sciences.
In 2018, he founded the Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience and Development (LANCyD), a state-of-the-art laboratory dedicated to the study of brain connectivity and functional neuroimaging for the diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment, the validation of instruments for measuring social cognition, and the treatment of addictions using neuromodulation techniques.
His career has been marked by close inter-institutional collaboration. He is a professor and advisor at UNAM and an active collaborator at the National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery (INNN), institutions where he conducts research projects in neuropsychology and mentors emerging scientific talent, bridging the gap between academia, community service, and professional practice.
With more than 25 international articles and 425 citations, his academic impact is remarkable. Recently (2024), he introduced the concept of “psycheidolia,” a key framework for understanding the perception of mental processes in artificial agents.
