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 '''S'''uperconductin '''QU'''antum '''I'''nterference '''D'''evices (SQUIDs) that detect the magnetic resonance imaging signal by direct magnetometry, rather than by induction.

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.

Lecture Videos

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
