Gustavo Deco

He was Director of the Center for Brain and Cognition from 2001 to 2021 (UPF). In 1987 he received his PhD in Physics for his thesis on Relativistic Atomic Collisions. From 1990 to 2003, he led the Computational Neuroscience Group at the Siemens Corporate Research Center in Munich (Germany). In 2001, he received his PhD in Psychology from the Ludwig-Maximilians University of Munich. In 2012 he received an ERC Advanced Grant and recently, in 2022, an ERC Synergy Grant. Their research allows us to understand the mechanism underlying brain functions by complementing structural and activation-based analyses with dynamics.
