Template:New unreviewed article
Anders Dale is a neuroscientist and Professor of Radiology and Neuroscience at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). Dale wrote and founded the brain image analysis software Freesurfer as a graduate student at UCSD. He later co-developed Freesurfer at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School with Bruce Fischl. In addition to Freesurfer, his major scientific contributions include developing: a) event related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) (with Randy Buckner at Harvard), b) an in vivo method to quantify the gray matter thickness of the cerebral cortex using MRI images (with Bruce Fischl at Harvard), c) an analysis platform to combine fMRI with magentoencephalography (MEG), d) computational techniques to automatically label neuroanatomic regions of the brain using MRI (with Bruce Fischl at Harvard), and e) automatically quantify longitudinal change in neuroanatomic regions using MRI images (with Dominic Holland at UCSD).
