Understanding how the brain organizes space, memory, and experience.

Dr. Quinn Lee is a Fellow at Amii and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology, where he leads the Navigation and Memory Systems (NMS) lab. Leveraging his expertise in theoretical, systems, and behavioural neuroscience, he aims to innovate brain-inspired approaches for intelligent systems that learn adaptive and efficient representations to support navigation and memory. To this end, research in his group combines cutting-edge approaches from high-yield neurophysiology, navigation and memory tasks in augmented reality, and machine learning for large-scale data analysis and modelling. 

Before starting the NMS lab, Quinn was a CIHR postdoctoral research fellow at McGill University and completed his PhD at the Canadian Centre for Behavioural Neuroscience (University of Lethbridge). Quinn has published and presented his work in leading journals and conferences internationally and is passionate about sharing his knowledge on open-source techniques for large-scale data collection in neuroscience, data analysis methods, and theoretical neuroscience and its intersection with AI.
