Karim Jerbi is a professor at the Psychology department of the University of Montréal. He holds the Canada Research Chair in Computational Neuroscience and Cognitive Neuroimaging and is the director of the Québec Neuro-AI research center (UNIQUE center). He is a member of the Royal Society of Canada's College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists. He obtained a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience and Brain Imaging from the Pierre & Marie Curie University in Paris (France) and a biomedical engineering degree from the University of Karlsruhe (Germany). His research lies at the crossroad of neuroscience and artificial intelligence. The multidisciplinary research conducted in his laboratory seeks to elucidate the complex brain dynamics that mediate higher-order cognitive processes (e.g. decision-making and creativity) and various states of consciousness (e.g. sleep, dreaming, anesthesia, meditation, and psychedelic states). Dr Jerbi also has a keen interest in the convergence between neuroscience, AI, creativity, and digital art.
