The Nicola Lab was founded in 2019, at the University of Calgary, in the Cumming School of Medicine. Our goal is to bridge the gap between the behaviours of neurons, neural circuits, and the behaviours of an organism by using state-of-the-art quantitative methods from dynamical systems theory, applied mathematics, engineering, control theory, and machine learning.

The University of Calgary is a global intellectual hub located in Canada’s most enterprising city. In our spirited, high-quality learning environment, students thrive in programs made rich by research, hands-on experiences and entrepreneurial thinking. Our strategy drives us to be recognised as one of Canada’s top five research universities, engaging the communities we both serve and lead. This strategy is called Eyes High, inspired by the university's Gaelic motto, which translates as 'I will lift up my eyes.' For more information, visit ucalgary.ca/eyeshigh.
