🚀 LN2_FRISGO: This program mitigates the Fuzzy Ripple artifacts in dual polarity 3D-EPI fMRI data.

💾 Big data ready: Now handling >5GB NIFTIs to support the mesoscopic shift toward high-res, whole-brain images.

A new MRI protocol can scan the human #brain and its venous network in under 7 minutes, marking it as a potential tool for diagnosing cerebrovascular diseases and monitoring neurodegeneration. @ofgulban https://t.co/Ok30agpYxq

Happy to share that our new preprint is now available!
Digging into our previous dataset, we found a feedforward signature in FFA during passive face image presentations, suggesting face information is structured prior to FFA.
Please find more details in the manuscript 😁

I’m proud to share that on July 3rd, I defended my PhD thesis: "Distinct and complementary: insights on bistable perception in humans using ultra-high field MRI across multiple spatial scales."

The defense stream is here: https://t.co/S31kQCmZD0

Excited for what’s next!🧠🧲🥳

You feel something is physically moving during a bistable illusion. While your brain can trick your eyes 👀, it cannot trick our scanner🧲

Our 7T fMRI results show a distinct feedback modulation between V1 & hMT+ in this illusion👇

New layer-fMRI manuscript focusing on Fuzzy Ripple artifacts. Arguably the biggest challenge in layer-fMRI acquisition.

Every layer-fMRI dataset has them, they limit resolution and TR, and we shows how to mitigate them.

There is a new blog post (book chapter) that provides an overview methods for computing geometric layers and columns. AKA: Layerficiation and Columnarization.
It includes: Historical aspects, the layer-fMRI field now, and the future.

It took another 8 years until the first layer profiles (plot of fMRI signal across layers).
