Improving Human fMRI through Modeling and Imaging Microvascular Dynamics [ 2016 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Markus Barth (Principal investigator) ,  A/Pr KaiHsiang Chuang

Brief description In this project we aim to establish a reliable vascular baseline to improve mapping of both small-scale functional architecture and large-scale brain networks in functional human brain mapping using MRI. By mapping the grey matter vasculature with high detail in both humans and animals, and by computing and matching of these atlases across species we will be able to validate this approach in vivo to confirm the better spatial specificity of the newly developed approach.
