Early life and education

Keenan was born on December 8, 1969 in New York City. He was educated at State University of New York at New Paltz, The Pennsylvania State University, Ealing College, and Harvard Medical School between 1987 and 2001.

Career

Keenan joined the faculty at Montclair State University in 2001 where he established the Cognitive Neuroimaging Laboratory.[1] He was eventually named one of the 20 most impactful intelects in New Jersey.[4]

He is the Founding Editor of the journal Social Neuroscience and has published his work in Science [5] and Nature.[6]

He discovered that the brain correlates of self-face recognition are mediated in the right hemisphere.[7] His lab further determined the critical role the medial prefrontal cortex plays in deception and self-deception.[8]

He was an early adopter of transcranial magnetic stimulation for use in cognitive neuroscience and continues to employ it in his current research.[9]

His work has reached the public through major media outlets including Radio Lab https://radiolab.org/episodes/91496-who-am-i and Hulu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBKZ5rIQu28

  • The Face in the Mirror (2004) ISBN 978-0060012809
  • The Lost Self (2005) ISBN 978-0195173413
