Current Group Members
Jorn Diedrichsen
Western Research Chair
Departments of Computer Science, Statistical and Actuarial Sciences
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
PhD Student
Armin studies 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 the role of disrupted connectivity in mental disorders
Mariam Abdelmagied
MSc Student
Mariam is broadly interested in the intersection between brain imaging and artificial intelligence and utilizing that to explore the brain and it’s complex functions and behavior
Amanda Lily
MSc Student
Amanda Lily is a philosophy major who wandered into the lab because she wants to become an expert on the precise use of fingers. She studies the role of the motor cortex in creating different combinations of fingers to make chords, inspired by her hobby of playing the piano
