Welcome to the Complex Neural Systems lab! We are a group of scientists working at the intersection of Neuroscience, Physics, Complexity Science, and Artificial Intelligence, studying the fundamental mechanisms underlying brain computations.

Our current research focuses on revealing the underlying principles of distributed coding in the brain and their impact on perception and learning. We integrate computational and theoretical approaches with large-scale calcium imaging and closed-loop optogenetic manipulations, in collaboration with experimental partners at the University of Calgary, the Hotchkiss Brain Institute, and abroad.

We are located in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Calgary, and are affiliated with the Complexity Science Group, the Hotchkiss Brain Institute, and its Computational Neuroscience core.
