Inspired by Richard Feynman’s observation in his Lectures on Physics that the central problems of the mind and nervous system remained unsolved, I dreamed of becoming a neuroscientist from my early student years. I graduated with a degree in Physics (1995) and earned a PhD in Physics (2000), both from the University of Warsaw. Two pivotal experiences shaped my research trajectory: a three-year postdoctoral fellowship at the Epilepsy Institute of The Netherlands (SEIN) and a one-year postdoctoral position at the Department of Neurology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
My primary research focuses on pathological brain activity in epilepsy. I develop computational models to replicate and deepen our understanding of signals observed in human and experimental epilepsy. Often, working closely with talented students and PhD candidates, I lead research projects examining brain activity related to sensory processing and the physiological effects of nature and meditation.
Ongoing projects:
A new idea is first condemned as ridiculous and then dismissed as trivial, until finally, it becomes what everybody knows.
