Son of teacher Christodoulos Laouris, he lived and attended schools in various districts of Cyprus including [[The English School, Nicosia]], the [[Pancyprian Gymnasium]] and the Acropolis Gymnasium. He served in the [[Cypriot National Guard]] as the first Cypriot senior [[cryptographer]] in the Headquarters after the [[Military coup in Cyprus]] of the [[Greek military junta]] and the [[Turkish invasion of Cyprus]] in 1974. Laouris graduated the medical school of the [[Leipzig University]] in Germany. He was awarded a PhD in Neurophysiology with summa cum laude by the Carl Ludwig Institute of Physiology (with Peter Schwartze) a few weeks before graduating the medical school, an achievement publicized in many district and national German and Greek Cypriot newspapers as he was the first student to be awarded a PhD before graduation<ref>[https://www.futureworlds.eu/wiki/Vitae/Yiannis_Laouris/Newspaper_coverage_of_the_Doctorate Media coverage of PhD award]</ref>. He continued his research in neurophysiology at the Georg-August [[University of Göttingen]] with cyberneticists and systems physiologists Professors [[Hans Diedrich Henatsch]] and [[Uwe Windhorst]]. He was then invited by Douglas G. Stuart to join the Department of Neurophysiology of the [[University of Arizona]]. Later in his life he also completed a Master's and a PhD in Systems and Industrial Engineering. | Son of teacher Christodoulos Laouris, he lived and attended schools in various districts of Cyprus including [[The English School, Nicosia]], the [[Pancyprian Gymnasium]] and the Acropolis Gymnasium.
