Bradley Voytek is an Assistant Professor of Computational Cognitive Science and Neuroscience at UC San Diego. Although he does "real" neuroscience research, you're not here for that stuff. You're here because of his zombie "research". Brad is an award-winning advisor for the Zombie Research Society, and this whole zombie thing has been ridiculously popular. It's been covered by numerous respected media outlets such as National Geographic, Wired, and even the American Academy of Neurology for some reason. His TED-Ed videos about the zombie brain have over a quarter million views.Y'all are CRAZY.In his real research, Brad uses a cross-disciplinary approach including neurophysiology, computational modeling, large-scale data analytics, and brain-machine interfacing to understand cognition; to understand how the brain talks to itself.There are a lot of PhDs out there who try to use science to sell their BS. I like to say that this whole zombie brain thing is my way of using BS to sell science.
