معرفی
Jonathan D Victor is Professor of Computational Neuroscience in Computational Biomedicine at the Institute for Computational Biomedicine, Professor of Neuroscience at the Brain and Mind Research Institute, and Fred Plum Professor of Neurology within the Department of Neurology at Weill Cornell Medical College (Cornell University). He serves as an Attending Neurologist at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and directs the Division of Systems Neurology and Neuroscience.
His educational background includes:
- B.A. from Harvard University (1973)
- Ph.D. in Neurophysiology from The Rockefeller University (1979)
- M.D. from Cornell University Medical College (1980)
Victor's research integrates computational neuroscience with clinical neurology, focusing on neural coding in sensory systems (vision, taste, smell), disorders of consciousness, and eye movement dynamics. He employs information theory, statistical modeling, and electrophysiology to decode how the brain processes natural stimuli and recovers from injury, with emphasis on perceptual spaces and neural network signatures.
Analysis of his 2023-2025 publications reveals three dominant trends: computational modeling of sensory-motor transformations in natural behaviors (e.g., Drosophila locomotion), geometric frameworks for perceptual spaces (visual texture, depth processing), and EEG-based biomarkers for traumatic brain injury recovery (alpha coherence, thalamic stimulation).
No scientific awards were explicitly documented in the source material.
He secures major NIH/Foundation grants as Principal Investigator or Co-Investigator, including National Eye Institute projects on fixational eye movements (2022-2026), James S. McDonnell Foundation's Covid-19 consciousness recovery consortium (2020-2025), and National Cancer Institute's NeuroNex olfactory behavior study (2020-2026). These fund translational work bridging neural coding theory with clinical applications.
Victor leads the Division of Systems Neurology and Neuroscience, leveraging collaborations with Weill Cornell's Brain and Mind Research Institute and Institute for Computational Biomedicine. His external relationships include consulting for Elsevier and Springer Science and Business Media on scientific publishing and data analysis.
