Thursday June 22
3:30-4:30pm
2130 Health Sciences Learning Center
Seminar lecturer: Dr. Beth Meyerand (Assistant Professor Department of Medical Physics)
Topic: Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Dr. Meyerand's lab aims to develop new MR methods to visualize the structure and function of the brain and to translate these methods to the hospital for clinical diagnosis. One of their areas of focus is functional MRI (fMRI). FMRI allows for the visualization of both the temporal and spatial patterns of brain activity in response to different stimuli. They are particularly interested in the development of new analysis methods to improve our understanding of brain function.
