Host: Alan Evans

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.


Peter Bandettini's lecture is made possible by contributions from the Quebec Bio-Imaging Network (QBIN/RBIQ) and the Polytechnique Montréal, with help from the Events team at The Neuro.
