Vohryzek, Jakub

I am a computational neuroscientist developing whole-brain models to understand how the human brain moves between different functional states in health, disease, and altered states of consciousness. My work combines connectomics, dynamical systems, neuroimaging, and in-silico perturbation approaches to study how structural connectivity, local neural dynamics and external stimulation shape large-scale brain activity.

I obtained my DPhil at the University of Oxford under the supervision of Prof. Morten L. Kringelbach, where I focused on spatiotemporal connectomics and large-scale computational modelling of human brain states. I am currently a postdoctoral research fellow with Prof. Gustavo Deco in the Computational Neuroscience Group at Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona.

My current research programme focuses on personalised whole-brain “digital brains” models for clinical translation. Through my involvement in ERC-funded projects, including Neurotwin and NEMESIS, I investigate how individualised brain models can predict the effects of non-invasive brain stimulation and help explain brain dysfunction in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders.
