Title:
BOLD Connectivity Dynamics
Summary:
A common assumption in most resting state fMRI (rsfMRI) studies is temporal stationarity. However, recent work has shown that rsfMRI connectivity patterns change considerably across short periods of time, even within the length of a typical rest scan.
Title:
Conscious Perception and State
Summary:
A primary objective in the science of consciousness is elucidating the neural mechanisms governing conscious states and devising methodologies for diagnosing and recovering impaired consciousness (e.g., in the disorders of consciousness). SFIM utilizates cutting-edge computational and neuroimaging tools, including high-field fMRI, MEG, and pupillometry, to investigate two pivotal themes in the study of consciousness.
Title:
Education and Resources
Summary:
Book chapters, articles, and other resources on the history, acquisition and analyses of fMRI data.
Title:
Layer Specific fMRI
Summary:
We are working to improve the spatial resolution and specificity of fMRI so that it is possible to distinguish neural activity changes across cortical layers.
Title:
Multi-Echo fMRI
Summary:
Multi-echo fMRI acquires data at multiple echo times following each radio-frequency excitation pulse. Measurements of how signals change across echoes can be used to better isolate the Blood Oxygen Level Dependent (BOLD) signal that is relevant to most fMRI studies. We develop, validate, and distribute methods to better isolate BOLD signal with the goal of improving fMRI data quality.
Title:
Multimodal Neuroimaging
Summary:
Using multimodal neuroimaging can aid us in understanding human cognitive functions. In SFIM, we work to integrate across numerous modalities, including EEG, CSF and physiological measures.
