Functional MRI Visiting Fellowship: A Five Day Intensive Introduction

Degree(s)		New students per year/session	0
Director	Robert Savoy	Duration (yrs)
Location	Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging. Charlestown, Massachusetts. United States
Description	The pioneering work of the Martinos Center has elicited an explosion of research in functional brain imaging. While it has been known for almost 100 years that neural activity causes localized changes in blood flow, and has been more recently demonstrated that neural activity causes localized changes in blood oxygenation, the tools for measuring these signals have historically been highly invasive in animals, and moderately invasive in humans. The seminal work of an extraordinary team of physicists, radiologists, and neuroscientists at the Martinos Center, demonstrating that these changes and blood flow and blood oxygenation can be detected by the non-invasive technology of MRI, has led to a dramatic increase in functional brain imaging work with humans. Because this non-invasive technique permits many repetitions of experimental procedures on a single subject, it is rapidly becoming the method of choice for neuroscience research in functional brain mapping. The purpose of the present course is to provide a serious introduction to this field. It is primarily intended for people new to the field, though some experienced scientists have found the program useful. More advanced workshops may be developed in the future.
