Title: Magnetic resonance imaging of the human brain: progress, challenges, and opportunities
Abstract:
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become a dispensable tool in clinical diagnosis and neuroscience studies because of its non-invasiveness, not using ionizing radiation, high soft-tissue contrast, and high spatial resolution. The development of functional MRI (fMRI) technique further allows using MRI to reveal neural correlates of human brain function. In this talk, I will summarize our recent technical developments in MRI, including ultra-fast fMRI acquisition/analysis. We will also demonstrate how to use fMRI to study human brain responses to complex naturalistic audiovisual stimuli.
Challenges and opportunities of further improving MRI’s sensitivity and spatiotemporal resolution will be discussed.
