Satrajit Ghosh

Director
Open Data in Neuroscience Initiative

Satrajit Ghosh is director of the Open Data in Neuroscience Initiative and a principal research scientist at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is also assistant professor of otolaryngology-head and neck surgery at Harvard Medical School. He is a computer scientist and computational neuroscientist by training.

Ghosh directs the Senseable Intelligence Group, whose research portfolio comprises projects on spoken communication, brain imaging and informatics to address gaps in scientific knowledge in three areas: the neural basis and translational applications of human spoken communication, machine-learning approaches to precision psychiatry and medicine, and preserving information for reproducible research and knowledge generation. He is a principal investigator on National Institutes of Health projects supported by the BRAIN Initiative and the Common Fund and is a big proponent of open and collaborative science.

He received his B.S. (honors) degree in computer science from the National University of Singapore and his Ph.D. in cognitive and neural systems from Boston University.
