Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJohn Griffiths is a scientist and computational neuroimaging researcher with 14 years of experience studying brain networks and dynamics across aging and psychiatric conditions. Holding a PhD in Cognitive Neuroimaging from Cambridge, he combines academic roles (Assistant Professor at University of Toronto) with applied research at the Krembil Centre for Neuroinformatics, bridging theory and translational neuroimaging. His work spans eigenmode analyses, human brain dynamics, and multimodal MRI/EEG methods, informed by postdoctoral stints at leading Canadian institutes and a visiting fellowship in neural field theory. John contributes to open-source neurotech tooling and documentation—improving accessibility to EEG experiments in Python—which underscores his emphasis on reproducible methods. Based in Toronto, he brings a rare mix of theoretical modeling, hands-on neuroimaging pipelines, and clear technical communication to cross-disciplinary teams.
