Dr. Mark Reimers studies brain function by applying statistics and computational methods to the very large data sets now being generated in neuroscience and genomics. In particular he tries to understand how brain dynamics changes between different activities and states of mind. Dr. Reimers has worked at the National Institutes of Health, the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, and at the Virginia Institute for Psychiatric Genetics in Richmond.
Dr. Reimers was the leader of the Richmond Humanists in Virginia for five years 2009-2014. Having relocated to Michigan State to pursue opportunities in neuroscience and Biomedical Engineering, he is now a frequent speaker in Michigan at humanist and popular science events.
