UMRAM/ASBAM Spring 2023 Seminars: “Multimodal Functional Neuroimaging for Surgical Skill Assessment”

Assist. Prof. Hasan Onur Keleş Ankara University   Date/Time: Tuesday, May 30th, 12:30 pm Meeting ID: 942 4349 1429 (Passcode: 896970) https://zoom.us/j/94243491429?pwd=d04zNTFlbDRyc1o5UEJTZEhCRkRqZz09   Abstract: My research in recent years has been at the forefront of practical, noninvasive, mobile multimodal functional neuroimaging (fNIRS and/or EEG). One of my aims is to create markers for predicting human performance. Such markers can provide objective […]

UMRAM/ASBAM Spring 2023 Seminars: “Fixational eye movements in the absence of central vision”

Prof. Susana Chung Optometry and Vision Science University of California, Berkeley Date/Time: Monday, May 8th, 5:30 pm Meeting ID: 962 2186 4610 (Passcode: 896970) https://zoom.us/j/96221864610?pwd=Z2Yya0hNeEd1TmVOcS9BUjFZSXZyZz09 Abstract: People with bilateral macular disease are known to exhibit much higher fixation instability when compared with people with a normal fovea. The increased fixation instability is attributed to larger amplitudes of ocular […]

UMRAM/ASBAM Spring 2023 Seminars: “Novel MRI Techniques in Pediatric Neuroimaging”

Assist. Prof. Onur Afacan Harvard Medical School Boston Children’s Hospital   Date/Time: Thursday, April 19th, 5:30 pm Meeting ID: 926 8664 5941 (Passcode: 896970) https://zoom.us/j/92686645941?pwd=ZEpFcTNzNVFTdnVJdkZmZmQwUzQ2QT09   Abstract: Pediatric neuroimaging is challenging due to several reasons. The first reason is that young patients cannot hold still in the scanner, and the resultant motion significantly deteriorates image quality, often making it […]

UMRAM/ASBAM Spring 2023 Seminars: “Layers of primary visual cortex as a window into internal models about predicted and simulated environments: Human fMRI, and monkey and rodent neuroscience”

Prof. Lars Muckli School of Psychology & Neuroscience University of Glasgow Date/Time: Thursday, March 16th, 12:30 pm Meeting ID: 941 2425 2490 (Passcode: 896970) https://zoom.us/j/94124252490?pwd=T0JJMTdBd0tvZU1HeUJrUXhuYWdZQT09 Abstract: Normal brain function involves the interaction of internal processes with incoming sensory stimuli. We have created a series of brain imaging experiments (using 7T fMRI) that sample internal models and feedback mechanisms in early visual cortex. […]

UMRAM/ASBAM Spring 2023 Seminars: “Spatiotemporal Brain Dynamics during Sleep and Wake”

Dr. Pınar Özbay Institute of Biomedical Engineering Boğaziçi University Date/Time: Friday, March 3rd, 5:30 pm Meeting ID: 939 1193 4398 (Passcode: 896970) https://zoom.us/j/93911934398?pwd=aHlWeG1YejU1U05rRG5yNjJjRzFFQT09 Abstract: It is well known that functional MRI (fMRI) signal variations covary, in part, with fluctuations in physiological signals. Since fluctuations in systemic physiology are likely to occur during various conditions, such as wakefulness, drowsiness, […]
