Michael Gazzaniga Biography

Michael Gazzaniga received a Ph.D. in Psychobiology from the California Institute of Technology where he worked under the guidance of Roger Sperry with primary responsibility for initiating human split-brain research. He subsequently made remarkable advances in our understanding of functional lateralization in the brain and how the cerebral hemispheres communicate with one another. This accessibility has been essential in obtaining public support for clinical and basic science research. Gazzaniga s newest book Tales from Both Sides of the Brain: A Life in Neuroscience (Ecco/Harper Collins 2015) recounts his decades-long journey to understand how the separate spheres of our brains communicate and miscommunicate with their separate agendas. Gazzaniga s many scholarly publications include the landmark series for MIT Press The Cognitive Neurosciences (5th edition 2014) which is recognized as the sourcebook for the field. Gazzaniga's long and distinguished teaching and mentoring career has included beginning and developing Centers for Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of California-Davis and Dartmouth supervising the work and encouraging the careers of many young scientists and founding the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience. He is an advisor to various institutes involved in brain research and was a member of the President's Council on Bioethics from 2001-2009
