Donald J. Hagler, Jr., Ph.D., Assistant Project Scientist, Department of Radiology, UCSD. Dr. Hagler is a cognitive neuroscientist whose primary interest is to study intra-cortical communication involved in cognitive functions such as perception and selective attention. Much of his work involves the development of methods integrating MRI, fMRI, MEG, EEG, and diffusion MRI. He recently developed a diffusion tensor fiber atlas for automatically labeling white fiber tracts. His main focus is to use his newly developed retinotopy-constrained inverse method to estimate time courses of visually evoked responses in individual visual areas.
