Hi Mastodon! #introduction 👋
My name is John Butler.
I'm Maths/Stats Lecturer and Neuroscience researcher in the School of Mathematics and Statistics in TU Dublin since 2015.

My research uses computational neuroscience methods to investigate multisensory processing. My favourite sensory system is the vestibular system it is just great.

I am a member of @neuromatch I’ve contributed materials to the summer schools. I also help organise the Conference and I’m particularly proud of the introduction of Neuromatch for Kids which shows how maths and neuroscience work together.

I really enjoy teaching, I've taught mathematics, statistics and computational neuro to all levels from graduate, down to primary. Here are two modules:
• Numerical Analysis with Applications in Python (https://john-s-butler-dit.github.io/NumericalAnalysisBook/ )
• Short Introduction to Maths in Neuroscience with Python (https://github.com/john-s-butler-dit/Basic-Introduction-to-Python)
There are more on my my GitHub.

Lastly, I do a bit of#scicomm, so I give talks at events like; Maths week and Science Week, Pint of Science, Bright Club, I’m a Mathematician Get Me Out of Here, and I regularly give talks in primary and secondary schools about his work.
