Visualizing the Mind: How We See the Brain Through Functional MRI
Last year, Harvard College senior Kelsey Ichikawa (shown in the photo above) interviewed the Martinos Center’s Bruce Rosen and Bruce Fischl for a general audience article about functional MRI, which she was writing for a science journalism course. Earlier this year, the article won the Harvard Bo...
The Road to MPI
Functional MRI has proved a transformative technology, yielding previously unimaginable insights into the workings of the brain. But what if there were another approach, one with dramatically higher sensitivity, that could shed even more light on these mysteries? What might we learn then? Larry ...
