About this Seminar

Spontaneous fMRI signal fluctuations provide a valuable window into human brain functional organization. Recent work has also demonstrated the ability to extract information about dynamic internal states from fMRI. In this talk, Dr. Chang will discuss work on using multimodal imaging to detect and investigate ongoing changes in vigilance and autonomic physiology with fMRI.

Additional Details

This is a free event hosted by the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute and co-sponsored by the institute's Center for Human Neuroscience Research. The Pioneers in Biomedical Research Seminar Series, which runs annually from September to May, has featured leading biomedical researchers from throughout the country since the program began in 2012. The lectures are also open to all members of the Virginia Tech community including graduate students, undergraduates, faculty, and staff, as well as the public.
