Riitta Kyllikki Hari (born 16 January 1948) is a Finnish neuroscientist, physician and professor at Aalto University. She has led the Brain Research Unit at the Low Temperature Laboratory since 1982. Hari was appointed as Academician of Science on 26 November 2010.[2]
Her most significant achievements relate to the understanding of healthy and diseased human cortex development. This involves magnetoencephalography, a process that allows for investigation of neuronal activity in the brain in a non-invasive way.[3]
