John Gabrieli is a neuroscientist at MIT, and an Investigator at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research.
Gabrieli is an expert on the brain mechanisms of human cognition, including memory, thought and emotion.
As a graduate student with Suzanne Corkin at MIT he carried out research with the famous HM, who was a globally amnesic patient as a result of epileptic surgery.
[1] In collaboration with Christopher deCharms and colleagues he was the first to demonstrate that human subjects could learn to control their own brain activity using real-time feedback from functional MRI.
[3] In 2008 Gabrieli was elected as a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, which cited his "penetrating analyses of the nature of human memory, its neural substrates, its development, and its problems.
