Nicolas P. Rougier

I'm a researcher in computational cognitive neuroscience at the Institute of Neurodegenerative Diseases (Bordeaux, France). I'm investigating decision making, learning and cognition using computational models of the brain and distributed, asynchronous, numerical and adaptive computing, a.k.a. artificial neural networks and machine learning. My research aims to irrigate the fields of philosophy with regard to the mind-body problem, medicine to account for the normal and pathological functioning of the brain and the digital sciences to offer alternative computing paradigms. Beside neuroscience and philosophy, I'm also interested in open and reproducible science (I've co-founded ReScience C with Konrad Hinsen and ReScience X with Etienne Roesch), scientific visualization (I've created glumpy, co-created VisPy and authored the popular Ten Simple Rules for Better Figures article), Science outreach (e.g. The Conversation) and computer graphics (especially digital typography)
