Gary Strangman, PhD

Director, NSG
Associate Professor, Harvard Medical School
Cognitive & Computational Neuroscientist
Phone: 617-724-0662
Email: strang -at- mgh.harvard.edu
Current CV
My research interests center around the interface between cognitive science, neuroscience and real-world applications. Current research employs non-invasive technologies to investigate neural correlates of performance and learning, particularly in mobile settings. I have focused on fMRI and near-infrared spectroscopy and imaging, as well as more limited work with EEG/ERPs. The Neural Systems Group is based at the Massachusetts General Hospital, along with the Athinoula A. MartinosBiomedical Imaging Center (formerly the MGH NMR Center).
