Omar Zeid

Omar Zeid (rhymes with "raid") earned his Ph. D in Cognitive and Neural Systems from Boston Univeristy in 2018, where he also earned his B.A. in Pure and Applied Mathematics in 2006. At BU, Omar worked with Daniel Bullock on systems-level computational models of the brain during the performance of well-learned rhythmic motor sequences (i.e. performing a choreographed dance or playing a musical instrument). His academic interests include the neuroscience of music perception/performance, neural networks, and math education/pedagogy. Omar is a proud New Englander, an amateur guitarist and clarinetist, and very left-handed.
