Current Group Members
Jorn Diedrichsen
Western Research Chair
Departments of Computer Science, Statistical and Actuarial Sciences
Caro Nettekoven
Postdoctoral Fellow
Caro is interested in how the cerebellum and neocortex work together to achieve complex behaviours such as movement, language, and social cognition. Her research combines multi-modal neuroimaging with computational approaches.
Bassel Arafat
PhD Student
Bassel is interested in functional localization of language regions and the study of how the cerebellum and the neocortex interact during language comprehension.
Mehrdad Kashefi
PhD Student
Mehrdad is a PhD candidate in Pruszynski and Diedrichsen labs. He studies neural basis of sequential actions in human, artificial neural networks, and non-human primates.
Armin Panjehpour
MSc Student
I study how sequences of movements are prepared and executed through human behavior, computational models, and monkey electrophysiology.
Ali Shahbazi
MSc Student
Ali focuses on connectivity between the neo-cortex and cerebellum using computational tools to ultimately understand disrupted connectivity’s role in mental disorders
