Week 1 Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is probably the most influential and most felxible current means of imaging the human brain. It features a vast number of separable contrast mechanisms, and a near ideal combination of non-invasiveness, safety, resolution and metric accuracy. However, it is extraordinarily expensive and has limited temporal resolution, especially for functional studies
Wednesday 1/11/12 - MRI. Speaker: Cohen
OUTLINE Required Readings
- MRI Slides
- These notes by Joseph Hornak are highly professional and complete coverage of MRI.

Friday 1/27/12 - TMS (tentative). Speakers: Allan Wu,
Transcranial Magnetostimulation is fundamentally different than the other technologies we have explored, in that it is used specifically to alter ongoing brain activity. While not exactly an imaging method, the TMS instrument is image-guided and uses tomographic placement.

Once upon a time we demonstrated that this sort of magnetic stimulation can take place in the MRI machines:

Week 5 fMRI and Ultrasound
Wednesday 2/8/12 - Multimodal imaging. Speaker: Cohen
OUTLINE Required Readings
Friday 2/10/12 - Ultrasound (tentative). Speaker: Martin Culjat
OUTLINE
Ultrasound is one of the earliest means of seeing into the body. Until recently, however, seeing into the brain has been very poor. Recent advances are improving on this.
