Dr. Mukesh Dhamala will be teaching "Functional Neuroimaging" course in Fall 2013 Course Offering: Fall 2013 Instructor: Mukesh Dhamala Course: Phys 4710/6710 or Neuro 6330 : Functional Neuroimaging Course Credit: 3 credit hours Course Pre-requisites: Instructor’s permission Textbook: Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging by Huettel, Song, and McCarthy Meeting Times/Place: TR 11:00AM - 12:15PM/GSU classroom south 528 Neuroimaging is a rapidly developing multidisciplinary field with new possibilities of understanding the brain both in health and disease. Functional neuroimaging tools, such as fMRI and EEG, aim to provide valuable insights into brain structure-function and brain-behavior relationships. There are three parts in this course: principles of functional neuroimaging, experimental design and data analysis, applications to cognitive neuroscience. NMR/MRI teaching tools will be used to provide students with hands-on experience on MR data recordings and analysis. This course is appropriate for graduate/ advanced undergraduate students majoring in neuroscience, physics or any other fields with an interest in the use of functional neuroimaging, brain data analysis and modeling of brain processes.

Fall Neuroimaging Course

ncanty — Fri, 29 Apr 2011 17:50:46 +0000

A new physics/neuroscience course on functional neuroimaging will be offered this Fall. It is listed under *Phys 4710/6710 and Neuro 6630*: Functional Neuroimaging. Course:Phys 4710/6710 or Neuro 6330 : Functional Neuroimaging* *Course Credit: 3 credit hours* *Course Offering:Fall 2011* *Meeting Times/Place:MW 9:30 - 10:45AM/ NSC 272 * *Course Pre-requisites:Instructor's permission* ** *Instructor*:*Mukesh Dhamala http://www.phy-astr.gsu.edu/dhamala/dhamala.html* Neuroimaging is a rapidly developing multidisciplinary field with new possibilities of understanding the brain both in health and disease. Functional neuroimaging tools, such as fMRI and EEG, aim to provide valuable insights into brain structure-function and brain-behavior relationships. There are three parts in this course: *principles of functional neuroimaging, experimental design and data analysis, applications to cognitive neuroscience.* Physics principles, mathematical/statistical modeling approaches and computer simulations will be used to enhance students' learning of the materials. This course is appropriate for graduate/undergraduate students majoring in physics, neuroscience or any other fields of our B &B programwith an interest in the use of functional neuroimaging, brain data analysis and modeling of brain processes.

Distinguished Lecture Series April 22nd, 2011 Broken Mirrors, Reduced Social Motivation, and Altered Connectivity: Building Synergy Amongst Competing Theoretical Accounts of Autism Speaker: Mirella Dapretto, Ph.D. Associate Professor Director, FPR-UCLA Center for Culture, Brain and Development UCLA Dept. of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences Location: 1000 Urban Life Building Time: 10:30 AM Abstract: Infants’ early biases to attend to human faces and voices likely play a pivotal role in guiding and constraining social learning and development. Conversely, the lack of such attentional preferences may significantly and negatively impact the developmental trajectory of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). In this talk, I will present data from a series of recent studies conducted in children with ASD, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), which speak to the nature, possible causes, and consequences of these altered attentional processes in individuals with ASD. In discussing research findings showing hyporesponsivity in mirror neuron and reward circuitry as well as altered functional connectivity, I will seek to highlight the benefit of building synergy out of seemingly competing accounts of autism. *There will be a small coffee reception at 10:00 AM preceding the lecture.

Brain Lecture Series February 23rd, 2011 Title of Talk:"Towards a semantic infrastructure for cognitive neuroscience: The Cognitive Atlas Project" Speaker: Russell Poldrack, Director, Imaging Research Center Professor of Psychology and Neurobiology Location: GSU/GT Center for Advanced Brain Imaging 831 Marietta Street, Atlanta 30318 University of Texas at Austin Time: 1:30pm Abstract: We are drowning in results from neuroimaging studies, but starving for an understanding of how these results inform brain function. In order to integrate across this wealth of research findings, I propose that we need a formal semantic infrastructure similar to those developed in other areas of bioscience such as genomics. I will first describe a set of informatics tools that mine literature and neuroimaging databases to characterize the relation between neural and mental function. I will then describe the Cognitive Atlas project (www.cognitiveatlas.org), which aims to develop a knowledge base for mental structure. Finally, I will outline a proof of concept showing how such a database could be used to extract the latent structure of brain processes that underlie mental function.
