Dean Buonomano is professor of neurobiology and psychology at the University of California, Los Angeles. He is a computational and experimental neuroscientist and a leading expert on how the brain tells time and performs time-dependent computations. A focus in his lab is neural dynamics and learning in ex-vivo cortical circuits. He is the author of “Your Brain is a Time Machine: The Neuroscience and Physics of Time” (Norton, 2017) and “Brain Bugs: How the Brain’s Flaws Shape our Lives” (Norton, 2011).
Buonomano received his B.S. from the University of São Paulo, Campinas in Brazil and his Ph.D. from the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. He conducted his postdoctoral work at the University of California, San Francisco.
