Place: *****Room 201****** (PLEASE NOTE THE ROOM FOR THIS MONDAY'S SEMINAR) Speaker: Doug Greve PhD Massachusetts General Hospital Harvard University Title: The Variability of fMRI Across Site: Results from the Function Biomedical Informatics Network Abstract: The use multiple sites can increase the number of subjects in an fMRI studies allowing either for the probing of subtle questions or the group analysis of rare subjects. However, the pooling of data from multiple sites introduces site-related variability. The Function Biomedical Informatics Network (fBIRN) Test Bed is a consortium of sites funded through NCRR to address issues of multi-site acquisition and integration of fMRI data. This talk will focus on the results from a recent data acquisition from four sites in the fBIRN. We show that, when acquisition parameters are matched, the repeatability of the hemodynamic response amplitude across sites is very reliable. Using multiple flip angle data, we show that the physiological noise across site is repeatable, but the thermal noise level is not. About the speaker: Douglas Greve received his BS in Electrical Engineering from Tulane University in 1986, and his PhD in Cognitive and Neural Systems from Boston University in 1995. He has spent the last 10 years in the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging at Massachusetts General Hospital studying methods for analyzing fMRI, physiological noise in fMRI, anatomical analysis with FreeSurfer, multi-modal integration, and multi-site issues in MRI and fMRI. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
