Effective Connectivity
FMRI is a method of measuring the flow of oxygenated blood in the brain (Ogawa et al., 1990A, 1990B; Bandettini, 1992). FMRI is based on the BOLD effect where BOLD stands for blood oxygen-level dependent. BOLD MRI is accomplished by first exposing a patient or volunteer to a stimulus or having them engage in a…
What We Do
Our research is in the field of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the human brain. Our goal is the development of new MRI methods to visualize the structure and function of the brain and to translate these methods to the hospital for clinical diagnosis.
Collaboration
All of our research involves collaboration with clinicians and clinician-scientists since we are developing MRI methods to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological and psychiatric diseases and disorders. These valuable collaborations include faculty from the departments of Radiology, Neurology, Psychiatry, Neurological Surgery, Medicine and Surgery.
