Anthony Jack

At the forefront of innovation in the field of cognitive neuroscience, Anthony Jack serves as the Elmer G. Beamer-Hubert H. Schneider Professor in Ethics at Case Western Reserve University. With a robust academic background, he earned his Ph.D. in experimental psychology and has undergone extensive training in both philosophy and neuroscience. His scholarly journey began with a deep interest in consciousness theory, which has since evolved to encompass advanced brain imaging techniques. Professor Jack's current research is particularly focused on utilizing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to explore the intricate workings of consciousness, attention, and social processing within the brain. His work aims to unravel the complexities of how these cognitive processes are interlinked and how they manifest in neural activity. This research not only contributes to a deeper understanding of the human mind but also has implications for developing new approaches to mental health and cognitive enhancement. In addition to his research, Professor Jack is committed to fostering an environment of academic curiosity and collaboration. He actively engages with students and colleagues, encouraging them to explore the intersections of philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience. His dedication to education is evident in his mentorship and the opportunities he provides for students to participate in cutting-edge research. Those interested in delving deeper into his work or seeking opportunities for involvement are encouraged to explore the Brain, Mind, and Consciousness Lab. Through this platform, Professor Jack continues to push the boundaries of what is known about the human brain, inviting others to join him in this exciting scientific endeavor.
