Adrian Owen

Adrian M. Owen (born 17 May 1966) is a British neuroscientist, currently the Canada Excellence Research Chair in Cognitive Neuroscience and Imaging at The Brain and Mind Institute, The University of Western Ontario, Canada. Owen's current research uses neuroimaging (MRI and EEG), with neuropsychological studies in brain-injured patients and healthy participants. He and his researchers are trying to understand the effects of brain injury in hopes that some day doctors are able to give a more accurate diagnosis and early detection, which will hopefully find new treatments for rehabilitation.

Adrian Owen was born 17 May 1966 in Gravesend, England, and educated at Gravesend Grammar School. He completed his PhD at the Institute of Psychiatry, London (now part of King's College London) between 1988 and 1992.

In 1992, Owen moved to the Cognitive Neuroscience Unit at the Montreal Neurological Institute, McGill University to work with Michael Petrides and Brenda Milner. He was awarded The Pinsent Darwin Scholarship by the University of Cambridge in 1996 and returned to the UK to work at the newly opened Wolfson Brain Imaging Centre, Cambridge. In 1997 he moved to the Medical Research Council's Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit (CBU), Cambridge (formally the Applied Psychology Unit) to set up the neuroimaging programme there and to pursue his research in cognitive neuroscience. He was awarded MRC tenure in 2000 and made Assistant Director of the MRC CBU in 2005, with overall responsibility for the onsite imaging facilities (3T Siemens Tim Trio MRI and 306-channel Elekta-Neuromag MEG systems).
