Math search candidate lecture "Exploring the Workings of the Brain using Mathematics"
Wednesday, April 9, 2008
Dr. Cliona Golden, candidate for the visiting position in Mathematics will present "Exploring the Workings of the Brain using Mathematics" Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or fMRI, is a non-invasive brain imaging technique with great potential to improve our understanding of the workings of the human brain. An fMRI scanner indirectly measures "brain activity" which contains information about different operations controlled by the brain. The aim is to extract that information from the fMRI data and this poses a mathematical challenge which calls for innovative tools from areas including statistics, signal processing and functional analysis. I will discuss methods and findings from our long-term collaboration with fMRI neuroscientists.
