Maureen Hagan is a Senior Lecturer and Group Leader at the Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute, focusing on neuroscience and the mechanisms of inter-area communication in the brain. After completing her doctoral work at the Centre for Neural Science at New York University under Bijan Pesaran, she has expanded her research to explore how information is communicated across brain regions to govern cognitive behaviors such as attention and decision-making. Her recent work leverages computational neuroscience techniques to analyze the large datasets produced by her research. Hagan's expertise aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in understanding sensory integration and decision-making processes related to neural communication. She leads multiple projects aimed at unraveling the complexities of visual attention mechanisms and cortical plasticity post-cortical damage. Her contributions to the field include a commitment to advancing neural engineering and the development of brain-machine interfaces, aiming to restore functions impaired by accidents or diseases.
