Randy McIntosh is professor and BC leadership chair in neuroscience and technology transfer across the lifespan, and director of the Institute for Neuroscience and Neurotechnology, at Simon Fraser University. He holds a Ph.D. in psychology and neuroscience with a strong background in statistics. His research journey began at the Rotman Research Institute at the University of Toronto, where he developed a keen interest in understanding aging and cognition. McIntosh is the co-lead for the team that created The Virtual Brain (thevirtualbrain.org), a groundbreaking platform that unites global research efforts.

Cerebellar neurons reorient brain activity to differentiate similar behaviors
The findings provide a new perspective on how granule cells help to generalize learning across tasks.

Revisiting the neural correlates of consciousness
Life happens in real time, but experience may be composed in ragtime—like the music genre, full of offbeat notes and uneven rhythms. The assumption that waking life consists of a “stream” of conscious representations has inadvertently led consciousness science to its current impasse.
