Alexander Kaplan received his M.S., Ph.D., and D.Sci. degrees from the M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State Universuty (Faculty of Biology), Russia. After spending ten years in the department of Higher Nervous Activity as Senior Research Scientist, he joined Department of Human Physiology, where he became Leading Research Scientist and Professor in Psychophysiology, Head of Human Brain Research Group.

In 2003, he received Russian Government Science and Technology Prize (the top governmental science award).
