January 31, 2013: Resting State fMRI
Presidential Lectures are free public colloquia centered on four main themes: Biology, Physics, Mathematics and Computer Science, and Neuroscience and Autism Science. These curated, high-level scientific talks feature leading scientists and mathematicians and are intended to foster discourse and drive discovery among the broader NYC-area research community. We invite those interested in the topic to join us for this weekly lecture series.
January 31, 2013, 12:30-5:30 p.m. EST
Gerald D. Fischbach Auditorium at the Simons Foundation
160 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY
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
