Gail Carpenter

Gail Alexandra Carpenter is an American cognitive scientist, neuroscientist and mathematician, known for her work with Stephen Grossberg developing adaptive resonance theory, a theory of how the human brain processes information, and for her work on the Hodgkin–Huxley model of how neurons operate. then went to the University of Colorado.

Carpenter was a faculty member at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and at Northeastern University before joining Boston University. She received the International Neural Network Society (INNS) Gabor Award in 1999.

She is a Fellow of the INNS, and was named as an IEEE Fellow in 2013.

Personal life Carpenter married Stephen Grossberg in 1979.
