Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBritt Anderson is an Associate Professor and Director of the Centre for Theoretical Neuroscience at the University of Waterloo, combining clinical training as an MD and neurologist with a PhD in Brain Science from Brown. He has led translational and basic research on hemispatial neglect, Alzheimer's clinical cores, and the neural correlates of general intelligence across human and animal studies. His current work bridges psychological and neuroscientific levels by modeling how the brain encodes and updates probabilistic representations and by applying programming language paradigms and formalisms like category theory to make theory testable. A former FDA Peripheral and CNS advisory committee chair, he brings rare regulatory and clinical perspective to theoretical neuroscience. He is also committed to building computational curricula that enable non-technical students to engage in mathematically rigorous cognitive science. Based in Kitchener, Ontario, he blends deep medical experience with computational creativity to pursue concrete, interdisciplinary advances in understanding cognition.
