Background & Research
Joana Ribeiro Barbosa Cabral is a Portuguese computational neuroscientist and biomedical engineer whose work focuses on large-scale brain dynamics, network neuroscience, and neuroimaging. She completed her PhD in Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience at Universitat Pompeu Fabra and conducted postdoctoral research in psychiatry at the University of Oxford before returning to Portugal. Her research has centered on how whole-brain dynamics relate to psychiatric disorders and how psychedelics modulate brain activity.
Key Impact
She is a key computational neuroscientist in psychedelic brain research, contributing mechanistic whole-brain modeling work on psilocybin, LSD, and DMT.
