You have found your way ... to some random bits of info about me.

Short intro. Brains are amazing is my belief, but yet more so is the fact that we slowly approach an understanding of at least some of its principles (though not without maths). Philosophy's nice, but how much better is a seriously empirical approach to the ultimate questions? I did my preclinical medicine and got my BA in Physiology and Psychology at Gonville and Caius College at Cambridge University, (of which a short history is here). I then did a PhD at the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit with Peter Dayan as part of an MB/PhD at UCL. I then did a postodoc at the Center for Theoretical Neuroscience at Columbia University, and am now back in London, both doing research and finishing my medical studies at UCL Medical School.

The other amazing approach to understanding our "condition humaine" is Photography. The possibility to cut time into slices, rondomly reshuffle them and stick them together again is a powerful tool to analyse our perception of causality and thus our perception of the structure of this world. Its link to aesthetics additionally binds it to our instincts, emotions etc.

Home happens to lie at the heart of Europe: Liechtenstein is one of those unreal bits of the world (look at this for a proof) to survive from times long past... thanks to Napoleon, though the Swiss can at times inadvertedly invade. In fact, the Prince of Liechtenstein is one of the last reigning sovereigns amongst those who once formed the Holy Roman Empire (of German Nations) and one of the few doubly landlocked countries. Triesen is its illustrious, third-largest village. Home also has looks, especially out of windows onto the gorgeous valley of the Rhine (panorama 1 and panorama 2 and 3.)
