Stephen David is professor of otolaryngology in the Oregon Hearing Research Center at Oregon Health & Science University. His day job focuses on the neural basis of sensory perception, particularly in the auditory system. Current projects use computational approaches to characterize auditory neural representations while manipulating context through associative learning, attention, environmental noise and hearing loss. A long-standing interest in the history of ideas has also led him to co-found and maintain Neurotree, a crowdsourced academic genealogy of neuroscience.

Before coming to Oregon Health & Science University, David completed an A.B. in applied mathematics at Harvard University; a Ph.D. in bioengineering at the University of California, Berkeley, studying visual cortex and attention with Jack Gallant; and a postdoctoral fellowship with Shihab Shamma in the Institute for Systems Research at the University of Maryland, College Park.

The three-banded panther worm is rewriting the story of brain evolution

The animal has a brain structure all its own, according to a 2026 preprint. The finding hints that brains could have evolved centralization before regionalization.
