SHORT BIO

Josh Neudorf completed his B.Sc., Master's, and PhD degrees under the supervision of Ron Borowsky at the University of Saskatchewan, studying cognitive and computational neuroscience. His Master's thesis focused on the brain networks supporting language and semantic memory, while his PhD thesis focused on computational network neuroscience questions about how structural connectivity (measured with diffusion MRI) constrains and supports functional connectivity (measured with functional MRI), using graph theory, complexity, and deep learning methods in healthy young adults and patients with epilepsy. He was awarded the Governor General's Gold Medal, Canada's highest honour for PhD graduates.

Josh held a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Postdoctoral Fellowship and now holds a Canadian Neuroanalytics Scholars Program Postdoctoral Fellowship in Randy McIntosh's lab at the Institute for Neuroscience & Neurotechnology, Simon Fraser University, investigating the structural and functional network changes in older age that help to preserve cognitive ability, the unique functional network effects of acute sleep restriction on older adults, and the brain network biomarkers of Alzheimer's Disease. Since January 2025, Josh has served on the editorial board of Cortex as a Consulting Editor.
