sean.froudist-walsh@ndcn.ox.ac.ukBiography
Seán trained at Trinity College Dublin, King’s College London, Mount Sinai School of Medicine and New York University in Mathematics, Psychiatry and Neuroscience research. He has developed methods for computational modelling and integration of brain data across scales, and species. This work has led to discoveries of major axes of cortical receptor organisation and multi-scale computational models of cognitive functions including working memory and conscious perception. He leads the Cognition, Anatomy and Neural Networks (CANN) research group (University of Bristol 2022-2025; University of Oxford and Trinity College Dublin, December 2025-).
Research
Project Title
Anatomy-driven AI for translational neuroscienceProject Summary
Despite major advances in neuroscience, psychiatric treatments have barely improved in 35 years. This fellowship will infuse AI with neuroanatomy to improve how we select species and circuits for translational neuroscience and psychiatry studies, with the aim of accelerating discovery of treatments for psychiatric illness.
