Biography
Sean Froudist-Walsh is a Lecturer in Computational Neuroscience at the University of Bristol, where he leads the Cognition, Anatomy and Neural Networks (CANN) Research Group. His research focuses on understanding how different brain areas work together to produce cognition and how changes in brain anatomy can lead to new functions or dysfunctions. He develops brain-inspired neural network models to link the interactions between neural circuits to the dynamical patterns of activity observed in the cortex and behaviour. Sean has published extensive first-author work in behavioral neuroimaging, neuroanatomy, and machine learning, contributing significantly to the fields of computational neuroscience and computational psychiatry. He aims to connect the fields of neuroimaging and cognitive neuroscience through his research and outreach initiatives.
