Presidential Lectures are a series of free public colloquia spotlighting groundbreaking research across four themes: neuroscience and autism science, physics, biology, and mathematics and computer science. These curated, high-level scientific talks feature leading scientists and mathematicians and are designed to foster discussion and drive discovery within the New York City research community. We invite those interested in these topics to join us for this weekly lecture series.

This Biotech Symposium will focus on resting-state fMRI, a neuroimaging technique that uses dynamic changes in oxygenated blood flow to explore the brain’s functional organization when a person is at rest and not performing an explicit task.
Speakers:
Randy Buckner, Harvard University: The Basics of Functional Connectivity MRI
Steven Petersen, Washington University: Network Analysis of Functional Connectivity MRI Can Identify Systems and Vulnerable Locations
Michael Milham, Child Mind Institute: An Emerging Big Data Resource for Imaging-Based Biomarker Identification
