Our research aim is to uncover the computational and organizational mechanisms in the brain. For example, what function does feedback play in our brains, and how do our expectations influence our perceptions? We study these questions by modelling neural networks. Through computational experiments and mathematical analysis, we try to understand the neurological basis of perception, cognition, and behaviour.
The lab is in the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science, and affiliated with the Centre for Theoretical Neuroscience.
Welcome Nahal
Nahal will be doing research part-time over the summer, designing validation studies for our neural model of the basal ganglia.
Alina joins us for the summer as a research assistant
She will design neural networks that accurately decode from populations of adapting neurons.
This is Michelle, undergrad research assistant
She'll be implementing a neural network that mimics a beat pattern.
Priya joins the lab for the summer
Priya will be working full-time this summer as a researcher, working on computational models of the basal ganglia.
Papers accepted at Canada AI and CogSci
We have two papers to be presented at upcoming conferences. Well done Ehsan, William, and Jeremy!
Alicia presents her research at NICE 2025
We had a poster accepted at NICE, which was held in Heidelberg, Germany. Alicia presented the poster, and a 1-minute lightening talk.
The Neurocognitive Computing Lab heads to Telluride
Two lab members are organizing topic areas for the 2025 Telluride Neuromorphic Cognition Engineering Workshop.
Meet Nicolas - Undergrad Researcher
Nicolas will be working on decoding from adapting spiking neurons
A freshly-minted doctor
Congratulations to Nicole, err... Dr. Dumont for successfully defending her thesis.
Nicole wins Best New Neuromorph!
She got the award when she attended the Telluride Neuromorphic Cognition Engineering Workshop.
BEST PAPER Award at ICANN!
Our paper was honoured with a ENNS Best Paper award at the Interational Conference on Artificial Neural Networks
We made the cover of Neural Computation
