Robyn WilfordExternal Member
I am a first year PhD student at the University of Toronto supervised by Dr. Katherine Duncan and an external member of the EMRG Lab. Broadly, my research interests involve understanding the brain as a complex dynamical system nonlinearly coupled to behavioural and environmental processes. Currently, I aim to apply complex systems theory, and Coordination Dynamics in particular, to understand the relationship between episodic memory and event perception. Wilford, R.
