Multimodal fMRI and computational tools for advancing human neuroscience Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Harvard Medical School We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in advanced functional MRI at the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Harvard Medical School. Our research aims to enable new kinds of analyses of brain activity through advanced neuroimaging and signal processing approaches. Working with Drs. Jonathan Polimeni and Laura Lewis, the fellow will study the neural and vascular origins of fast fMRI signals and test the upper limits of the speed and sensitivity of fMRI. The postdoctoral fellow will use advanced accelerated fMRI methods and ultra-high field imaging (7T) to study and model the dynamics of neural activation at fast timescales and across cortical layers. Multimodal imaging (including ASL, CBV, and simultaneous EEG/fMRI) and computational models of physiological dynamics may also be used, to ultimately track fast and local neural dynamics using accelerated fMRI. The Martinos Center is home to state-of-the-art imaging facilities and technological expertise in neuroimaging. The center houses over 200 faculty and postdoc members, conducting diverse neuroimaging research with great potential for collaborations and career development. The successful candidate will be a highly motivated researcher with a desire to begin an independent career related to or involving advanced human functional MRI. A Ph.D. in engineering, physics, neuroscience, or related field, is required. A background in neuroimaging techniques and/or neurophysiology is an asset. Strong analysis skills and independent motivation and creativity are essential for this project. Additional Skills/Abilities/Competencies Candidates should be enthusiastic about working in a fast-paced, interdisciplinary environment. The successful candidate will be able to work both independently and collaboratively in a large multi-institutional project. Strong written and oral English communication skills are required. APPLICATION Interested applicants should send a cover letter describing research experience, interests, and future research and career goals, as well as an up-to-date curriculum vitae and contact information for three references, to Laura Lewis, Ph.D., by email: ldlewis at nmr.mgh.harvard.edu.

Neuronal activities of the brain are strongly coupled with the hemodynamics in the local cerebral cortex and the hemodynamics can be extracted by using the fact that the absorption spectra of oxy hemoglobin (HbO) and deoxy hemoglobin (HbR) differs in the near-infrared region of the spectrum. The fNIRS retrieves the hemodynamics by monitoring the variations in the optical signal power traveling through the cerebral cortex of the brain. The fNIRS has an apparent advantage over functional magnetic resonant imaging (fMRI) in terms of cost and portability. However, the inherent limitation of the spatial resolution of the fNIRS restricts its widespread use in clinical applications. In addition, the conventional fNIRS devices have yet to utilize its potential for portability to the fullest extent. In this talk, an ASIC-based highly portable real-time brain-imaging system with 4mm spatial resolution will be presented. The technical improvements are achieved by joint optimization of hemodynamic extraction algorithm and high-SNR circuitry. Biography: Hyeon-Min Bae received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea, in 1998 and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Champaign, IL, USA, in 2001 and 2004, respectively. From 1995 to 1996, he served his military duty in Dokdo in the East Sea. From 2001 to 2007, he led the analog and mixed-signal design aspects of OC-192 MLSE based EDC ICs at Intersymbol Communications, Inc, Champaign, IL, USA. From 2007 to 2009, he was with Finisar Corporation (NASDAQ: FNSR), Sunnyvale, CA, USA, after its acquisition of Intersymbol Communications Inc.. Since 2009, he has been on the faculty of the electrical engineering at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Daejeon, Korea, where he is currently an associate professor. In 2010, he founded Terasquare, Inc., Seoul, Korea, which provided low power 100 Gb/s transceiver solutions. Teresquare, Inc. was acquired by Gigpeak (NYSE:GIG) in 2015. In 2013 and 2016, he founded OBElab, Inc., Seoul, Korea, a bio startup that manufactures portable functional brain imaging systems and Point2technology, Inc., San Jose, CA, that provides dielectric waveguide-based high-speed interconnect solutions, respectively. His research interests span a wide range of topics in wireline communication and medical systems. He is now serving on the wireline subcommittee of International Solid-State Circuit Conference (ISSCC) since 2014 and has been selected as a Distinguished lecturer of IEEE Solid-State Circuit Society in 2017.

The Retreat will be followed by our annual BIC Holiday Party, with good food and wine to celebrate the end of another successful year. This one-day event, which is free and open to all, will not only give us the chance to get to know each other better, but will also provide a forum to learn more about the different research activity being conducted at the BIC. Furthermore, it will be an excellent sounding board for exchanging ideas and fostering collaborations with colleagues. The Retreat Committee, composed of Francine B?langer, Boris Bernhardt, Leah LeFort, Leigh MacIntyre, Sridar Narayanan, Deborah Rashcovsky, Christine Tardif and myself, is working on a Scientific Program that will be circulated ASAP. Please note that Dr. Derek Jones (Cardiff University, Wales, UK; link) has accepted our invitation to deliver a keynote lecture. Furthermore, I will be giving a review of the BIC activities in 2018. In addition to scientific talks given by BIC faculty members on topics related to data acquisition and analyses, there will be time devoted to a "Discussion Panel Session" during which the Scientific Committee will invite your reflections and questions on topics related to the BIC. Now's your chance to participate, voice thoughts, ask questions, and be involved! You are also encouraged to submit an abstract for the poster session during the BIC Retreat. The abstract submission deadline is November 19th, 2018. Abstracts will be reviewed by the Scientific Committee, and accepted authors will be notified by December 3rd, 2018. Please note the committee will also select the four best abstracts and that the first authors of those abstracts will then be invited to give a short 5 min talk to describe their work. Clinical and research fellows, residents, medical students, post-docs and graduate students at the BIC may submit posters. See the Abstract Submission Guidelines (https://www.mcgill.ca/bic/article/call-abstracts-bic-scientific-retreat-2018) for more information. To confirm your attendance to the BIC Retreat, the BIC Holiday Party, or both - and to submit an abstract - please visit: http://neuroevents.mcgill.ca/forms/bic_retreat_2018.php Looking forward to having you join us!
