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 Secret Lives Of Martinos Folk: Radio, Nerds, and Where Punk and Science Meet
When you hear the words "MIT radio station" you might imagine a group of nervous, bow tie-clad engineers crowded around a chalkboard with a Venn diagram of Roger Dean album covers and Silmarillion references. And you might be forgiven if you did. Such stereotypes of science and engineering studen...
The Secret Lives of Martinos Folk: Carol Barnstead and the Center’s cast of colorful characters
I have this theory that you need to be a character to work at the Martinos Center; you have to be a bit of an oddball, albeit in a fun, quirky kind of way. I’m not sure whether this is a prerequisite enforced during one of the hiring steps or is simply the result of some kind of self-selection pr...
The Secret Lives of Martinos Folk: Fighting Stereotypes of Women in Islam, One Karate Kick at a Time
Zeynab Alshelh has practiced karate since she was a young child growing up in Australia. For much of the time she has been involved with the sport, she has focused her efforts on the discipline known as shadow fighting, or Kata. Kata comprises a pre-arranged pattern of movements—kicks and punches...
The Martinos Center’s Got Talent!
On Wednesday, January 11, the MGH Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging will stage its first-ever talent show, aptly titled: "The Martinos Center's Got Talent!" The event will showcase the many, varied talents of folks from across the center, from accordion playing to ballroom dancing, from stan...
It’s All about Teamwork: The Center’s Shahin Nasr on his breakthrough findings in the visual system
A research team at the MGH Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging has shed new light on the fine-scale organization of human visual cortex. Scientists have long sought deeper understandings of how different visual features (e.g., color, motion and depth) were encoded within the visual system, bu...
5 Things You Didn’t Know About David Cohen and MEG
Last week the MGH Martinos Center dedicated its advanced magnetoencephalography (MEG) facility as the David Cohen MEG Laboratory. Cohen—the inventor of MEG, a leader in the field of biomagnetism for more than 50 years, and a Martinos Center faculty member who was instrumental in building and deve...
New Software Concept Promises Boost for Clinical Trial Recruitment
What if you held a clinical trial and nobody came? While plenty of patients are eager to participate, researchers often have difficulty reaching their target enrollments for clinical trials, the goal of which is to determine the safety and efficacy of new drugs or therapies before they are bro...

Thank you for your interest in the Annual Fund. Each year we rely on the generosity of friends of the Center to generously contribute to the Annual Fund. Gifts to the Annual Fund help provide funding to the best and brightest researchers to explore novel areas of research. Your financial support ...
A New Role for Diffusion MRI in Treating Anxiety and Depression
Anxiety disorders and depression are widespread among adolescents in the U.S., affecting as many as one in four 13 to 18 year olds. Determining the best course of treatment can be difficult, though, as we still don’t fully understand the biology underlying them. Now, using cutting-edge brain i...

Dr. Jessie Fang-Lu Fu's research focuses on the translational application of multimodal neuroimaging, Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and machine learning in neurodegenerative disorders. Her main research interests include (i) evaluating the capability of ...
Nutrition and Brain Growth in the Developing World
The aging pickup truck bounces along a dirt road somewhere outside Bissora, one of the larger towns in the Oio region of the West African nation of Guinea-Bissau. The road, a major thoroughfare in the region, is pocked with holes. The rest of the year these would be deep and dusty. But it’s July ...

Learning to See: New Artificial Intelligence Technique Dramatically Improves the Quality of Medical Imaging
A radiologist’s ability to make accurate diagnoses from high-quality diagnostic imaging studies directly impacts patient outcome. However, acquiring sufficient data to generate the best quality imaging comes at a cost – increased radiation dose for computed tomography (CT) and positron emission t...
‘Women in Science’ Series Tackles Sexism, Other Issues
The MGH Martinos Center’s first-ever “Women in Science” seminar series, held this spring, brought together investigators, staff and others from throughout the community for a host of important and thought-provoking discussions. The series proved so successful the organizers are planning to hold a...
Ken Kwong and the Introduction of Noninvasive fMRI
In the early months of 1992 the neuroscience community was flush with excitement. Jack Belliveau, a graduate student with the MGH-NMR Center (now the MGH Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging), had recently published in Science his pioneering work with functional MRI, and the possibilities of th...
New Bedside MRI Scanner Inspired by Martinos Center Research
Fundamental research by Professor Matthew Rosen, Director of the Low-Field Imaging Laboratory in the MGH Martinos Center, contributed to the early development of a new portable MRI scanner by Hyperfine Research Inc. The potentially game-changing technology will be introduced this week at the Amer...
Martinos Center Benefactors Honored by the Greek Orthodox Church
Many biomedical research centers have been named in honor of the donors who, through their generous support, are helping to advance work done in the particular areas of investigation. We know these donors’ names, and associate them with the research the centers produce. Less familiar to us, thoug...
