Biosketch

 

Dr. Cohen is an internationally-recognized expert in high speed magnetic resonance imaging and its applications, particularly in the use of ultra-fast, echo-planar imaging for the collection of brain activation data sets, and he has been active in the development of functional magnetic resonance imaging since its inception. Dr. Cohen served as an elected board member of the Society for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (SMRI), and the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) and for two years chaired the Education Committee for the ISMRM. He served as associate editor of the Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging and is a regular ad-hoc reviewer in Science and a variety of magnetic resonance and neurology journals. He received his doctoral training in neurophysiology at the Rockefeller University in New York City in 1985, and has worked in magnetic resonance imaging since that time, both in the private sector with Siemens Medical system, and on the faculty at Harvard University and UCLA.
