Riitta Hari
Riitta Hari, MD, Ph.D., trained in medicine and clinical neurophysiology, is professor emerita of Systems Neuroscience and Human Brain Imaging at Aalto University, Finland. Since the early 1980s, her team has developed magnetoencephalography (MEG) for tracking activation sequences in the human brain, with fundamental insights into human sensory, motor, cognitive and social functions and with applications in both basic research and clinical diagnostics. For her multidisciplinary efforts, Hari has received honoris causa doctorates in science (2003), medicine (2005) and technology (2016). She currently attempts to bridge art and neuroscience without privileging either.
