Overview

John D. E. Gabrieli is affiliated with MIT in the United States. Their academic work spans neuroscience, psychology, and medicine, with a focus on cognitive neuroscience, developmental and educational psychology, clinical psychology, experimental and cognitive psychology, and radiology, nuclear medicine, and imaging.

The main topics covered by Gabrieli's research include functional brain connectivity studies, advanced neuroimaging techniques and applications, reading and literacy development, mindfulness and compassion interventions, anxiety, depression, psychometrics, treatment, cognitive processes, autism spectrum disorder research, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Frequent publication venues demonstrate Gabrieli's engagement across several prominent journals and platforms: bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), NeuroImage Clinical, Imaging Neuroscience, Human Brain Mapping, and Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience.

Gabrieli's recent papers include the following:

  • Consensus Paper: Cerebellum and Social Cognition, 2020, The Cerebellum
  • Exclusion of females in autism research: Empirical evidence for a "leaky" recruitment-to-research pipeline, 2022, Autism Research
  • Evidence for Hierarchical Cognitive Control in the Human Cerebellum, 2020, Current Biology
  • Mindfulness training preserves sustained attention and resting state anticorrelation between default-mode network and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex: A randomized controlled trial, 2020, Human Brain Mapping
  • Prediction of stimulus-independent and task-unrelated thought from functional brain networks, 2021, Nature Communications

They have collaborated extensively with other researchers, with frequent co-authors including Ola Ozernov-Palchik, Isaac N. Treves, Susan Whitfield-Gabrieli, Nicholas A. Hubbard, and Clemens Bauer.

Gabrieli has been recognized as a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences since 2016 and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) since 2008.
