Accelerating the co-simulation method for the design of transmit array coils for MRI

A work from UMRAM focused on the fast methods for designing RF transmit array coils resulted in a manuscript entitled “Accelerating the co-simulation method for the design of transmit array coils for MRI.” In this study, the co-simulation method is considerably accelerated for the design of tramsnit array coils. As a proof of concept, an eight-channel degenerate […]

Distinct patterns of surround modulation in V1 and hMT+

Görkem Er, Zahide Pamir and Hüseyin Boyaci have published an article titled ”Distinct patterns of surround modulation in V1 and hMT+” in NeuroImage. Using fMRI and a well-studied motion paradigm, in which sensitivity to direction of motion increases (decreases) for a low (high) contrast stimulus as its size gets bigger, Er et al. show that […]
