I'm jointly appointed in Philosophy and Systems Design Engineering, and cross-appointed to Computer Science (I have supervised students in each of these departments and Psychology).

Centre for Theoretical Neuroscience (CTN)
I'm currently the director of this Centre. The Centre is a focal point for researchers across faculties (math, engineering, arts, science) interested in computational and theoretical models of neural systems.

Here are some courses at Waterloo related to this research.

Computational Neuroscience Research Group (CNRG)
I'm head of the lab at the University of Waterloo in this group (which is part of the CTN). We put out a book... and a simulation package.

***Here's the lab website, which has the most up-to-date information on research I'm involved in.
