Overview

George R. Mangun is affiliated with the University of California, Davis, in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on neuroscience, with a substantial number of publications in the subfield of cognitive neuroscience. The scientist's work spans related areas including computer vision and pattern recognition, experimental and cognitive psychology, signal processing, and radiology, nuclear medicine, and imaging.

The main themes in their research involve multiple interconnected topics:

  • Neural and behavioral psychology studies
  • Neural dynamics and brain function
  • Visual perception and processing mechanisms
  • EEG and brain-computer interfaces
  • Functional brain connectivity studies
  • Visual attention and saliency detection
  • Spatial neglect and hemispheric dysfunction

Mangun has contributed to several recent papers illustrating these interests. Notable publications include:

  • "Neural Mechanisms of Attentional Control for Objects: Decoding EEG Alpha When Anticipating Faces, Scenes,and Tools," 2020, Journal of Neuroscience
  • "The Microstructure of Attentional Control in the Dorsal Attention Network," 2021, Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience
  • "Role of Inferior Frontal Junction (IFJ) in the Control of Feature versus Spatial Attention," 2021, Journal of Neuroscience
  • "Attention without Constraint: Alpha Lateralization in Uncued Willed Attention," 2023, eNeuro
  • "Time Courses of Attended and Ignored Object Representations," 2023, Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience

The scientist often collaborates with a consistent group of coauthors, including Mingzhou Ding, Sreenivasan Meyyappan, Abhijit Rajan, Jesse J. Bengson, and Soukhin Das. These collaborations have contributed to many of the publications associated with Mangun.

Their work has appeared most frequently in the following publication venues:

  • Journal of Vision
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Journal of Neuroscience
  • Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience
  • eNeuro

George R. Mangun was recognized as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 2010, with an earlier fellowship also listed in 1958.
