Consider checking out one or both of these interesting seminars:
Improvements in fMRI Precision and Fidelity in Time and Space (view on vimeo) - 10-11am ET
Speaker: Peter Bandettini, PhD
Abstract: Since its inception, fMRI has shown a steady progression in precision, interpretability, and applicability due to improvements in acquisition and processing methods, as well as a wide range of multi-modal experiments demonstrating the relationship between the fMRI signal and other measures, including behavior. In this lecture, I will discuss this and show recent work from my lab highlighting the challenges, our approaches, and our applications of whole-brain, ultra-high resolution, cortical depth resolved fMRI. I will also demonstrate our recent work probing the spatial and temporal characteristics of spontaneous fMRI fluctuations as well as the unique advantages of high-speed, event-related decoding. Lastly, I will show preliminary and perhaps hopeful simultaneous EEG/fMRI studies that aim to use fMRI for direct detection of transient neuronal activity.
Update on biofluid-based biomarkers for neurodegenerative dementias - 2-3pm ET
Speaker: Henrik Zetterberg, MD, PhD
