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

M284A Principles of Neuroimaging A

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.

Week 4 Applied fMRI, Diffusion Tractography

There is enormous subtlety to the design of pyschophysical and psychological studies made more complex by fitting the experiments into the constrained environment of the MR instrument, the limitations of the BOLD signal and the practical problems of time. This week, Dr. Bookheimer will introduce the design of human functional imaging experiments from the point of view of exposing cognitive process using fMRI.

Week 5 MEG, EEG, Low Field MRI

Konstantin Penanen, together with Inseob Hahn and Byeong Ho Eom, have created a highly unusual MR imaging instrument that collects data in a magnetic field less than that of the earth. The tool uses Superconductin QUantum Interference Devices (SQUIDs) that detect the magnetic resonance imaging signal by direct magnetometry, rather than by induction.

Dr. Simpson is a leading expert in the use of scalp electrophysiology (EEG and MEG) to explore the dynamical processes of the human brain, and the integration of activity across cortex in complex human behaviors. Notably, the MEG instrument also uses the SQUID technology

Week 6 PET and TMS

Positron Emission Tomography was the first tomographic means available to explore neural activity in humans. Though this use was made much less common with the advent of fMRI, PET has many tricks up its sleeve. In particular, the technology allows incomparable sensitivity in the localization specific molecular species.

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.

Week 7 Spectroscopy and PET

Both PET and MRI are means of localizing specific molecular species. MRI has lower sensitivity but good quantitative accuracy and the ability to simultaneously image and study multiple molecules and compounds. Our lecture on PET will consider the actual imaging device, its sensitivity and its limitations.
