Dr. Pierre-Louis Bazin is a Researcher in the Department of Neurophysics at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences. He holds a PhD from INRIA Rocquencourt (France) and conducted postdoctoral research at Brown University and Johns Hopkins University in the US. His work focuses on advanced neuroimaging techniques, including high-resolution MRI parcellation, quantitative MRI, and subcortical structure analysis. Key projects involve developing automated segmentation tools (e.g., Nighres), exploring cerebellar and subcortical anatomy, and investigating neurodegenerative markers using multi-modal approaches.
