Randy L. Buckner (born June 15, 1970) is an American neuroscientist and psychologist whose research focuses on understanding how large-scale brain circuits support mental function and how dysfunction arises in illness.
In 2016, Science Magazine ranked Buckner among the top 10 most influential brain scientists of the modern era based on the Allen Institute's analysis of neuroscience publications.
[5] He trained as a post-doctoral fellow under Bruce Rosen at Massachusetts General Hospital where he worked with Anders Dale to develop event-related functional neuroimaging approaches to study cognition.
