Kenneth Hugdahl

Kenneth Hugdahl (born 15 January 1948, Östersund, Sweden) is a Swedish psychologist.

He took his doctor's degree at the Uppsala University in 1977. He worked as a researcher there from 1980, and in 1984 he was appointed professor at the University of Bergen. His main research interests are brain asymmetry and dichotic listening,[1] cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia,[2] and neurobiology of auditory hallucinations.[3] He has published over 300 articles in international peer reviewed journals, including in high impact factor journals, such as Brain (journal) [4] and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America,[5] and various books, among them Psychophysiology: The Mind-Body Perspective (1995),[6] Experimental Methods in Neuropsychology (2002)[7] and The Asymmetrical Brain (2002) (together with Prof. Richard Davidson).[8] He also edited the Scandinavian Journal of Psychology from 1990 to 2004.[9]

He was a member of the Research Council of Norway from 1988 to 1989, and of the MacArthur Foundation from 1990 to 2000.[9] He is a member of the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters.[10] He is currently the Head of the Bergen fMRI Group which initiated use of functional magnetic resonance imaging in neuroscience in Norway and the Nordic countries in the 1990s.
