Jake The MRI-safe buttons were designed by a graduate student, Jake Greenwood, to fit over the Celeritas buttons. Jake is currently a Ph.D. student whose primay advisor is Dr. Steven Barlow. The orginal Celeritas button has two blue small buttons and is not suitable for very young children. A young child tends to use his/her…
Two-day onsite NIRx fNIRS Workshop was sponsored by the Barlow and Wang Laboratories. Thomas Johannsen (NIRx Medical Technologies, LLC) presented introduction about fNIRS and how to set up specific montage on the first day. On the second day, Thomas focused on fNIRS experimental design and setup. He also ran couple of demos and gave lots…
After talking with Dr. Linxia Gu at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Dr. Wang decided to check out the animal MRI scan at Chase Hall. After initial contact with Dr. Kevin Forrest at the Department of Biological Science, Dr. Wang went to a scan session on March 22, 2017. The undergraduate research assistant, Alex, was…
To demonstrate how EEG works, Jess volunteered to be the EEG subject. Noah was putting the EGI nets on her.
Dr. Wang went to the four-day FreeSurfer Training in Boston. This trip provided her the opportunity to get a deep understanding of structural MRI data analysis using FreeSurfer. FreeSurfer is a software package for the analysis and visualization of structural and functional neuroimaging data from cross-sectional or longitudinal studies. It is developed by the Laboratory…
Dr. Shah from QuSpin visited CB3. He brought Atomic MEG sensor for testing. The picture showed him and Dr. Barlow was testing the sensor using the magnetic shield bore from the Department of Physics. Photo gallery:
AFNI group came to CB3 and offered faculty and students a-week AFNI training course. AFNI (Analysis of Functional NeuroImages) is a set of C programs for processing, analyzing, and displaying functional MRI (FMRI) data – a technique for mapping human brain activity. It runs on Unix+X11+Motif systems, including SGI, Solaris, Linux, and Mac OS X.…
