Background & Research
Gustavo Deco is an ICREA Research Professor and a senior computational neuroscientist at the Centre for Brain and Cognition, Universitat Pompeu Fabra. Trained in theoretical and computational approaches to brain function, he has forged a research programme that combines whole‑brain neuroimaging, biophysically informed computational modelling and connectomics to probe how large‑scale brain dynamics underpin cognition, perception and psychopathology. Deco's methodological contributions include the use of whole‑brain dynamical models and connectome‑harmonic decomposition to reveal frequency‑specific and repertoire‑level reorganisations of brain activity under psychedelic compounds such as LSD and psilocybin.
Key Impact
A leading computational neuroscientist who has applied whole‑brain modelling and novel decomposition methods to characterise how classic psychedelics reorganise large‑scale brain dynamics and link those changes to neurotransmitter systems and clinical response.
