Research Focus
James Haxby's research lab at Dartmouth College focuses on improving the analysis and sharing of functional brain imaging data using a method called hyperalignment. This technique helps resolve differences in brain activity patterns among individuals, allowing for better understanding of how various cognitive functions are represented in different brains. The lab aims to create a common platform for researchers in neuroscience to access and contribute valuable data, improving research on brain aging, cognitive processes, and clinical applications.

Career totals from OpenAlex, compared against labs that share a department. A department spans everything from one paper to tens of thousands, so bar heights are on a log scale — otherwise the largest lab would flatten every other bar to a line.
