Short Bio:
Dr. Brokoslaw Laschowski is a computational neuroscientist. He works as a Research Scientist and Principal Investigator at the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, Canada’s largest rehabilitation hospital, and as an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto with appointments in Neuroscience and Mechanical Engineering. He also serves as Director of the Computational Neuroscience Lab, a multidisciplinary research lab that explores the intersection of neuroscience, cognitive science, and artificial intelligence. He specializes in developing new mathematical, computational, and machine learning models to reverse-engineer and/or interface with the brain. In addition to advancing the scientific understanding of intelligence in biological and artificial systems, one of the clinical applications of his models is to control robotic and neuroprosthetic technologies to assist patients with motor impairments, ranging from autonomous control using brain-inspired algorithms to neural control using brain-machine interfaces. The long-term vision for his research is to reverse-engineer the human brain and discover fundamental principles of learning and intelligence.
