<strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"></span></strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Since its inception, fMRI has shown a steady progression in precision, interpretability, and applicability due to improvements in acquisition and
processing methods, as well as a wide range of multi-modal experiments demonstrating the relationship between the fMRI signal and other measures, including behavior. In this lecture, I will discuss this and show recent work from my lab highlighting the challenges,
our approaches, and our applications of whole-brain, ultra-high resolution, cortical depth resolved fMRI. I will also demonstrate our recent work probing the spatial and temporal characteristics of spontaneous fMRI fluctuations as well as the unique advantages
of high-speed, event-related decoding. Lastly, I will show preliminary and perhaps hopeful simultaneous EEG/fMRI studies that aim to use fMRI for direct detection of transient neuronal activity.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;line-height:15.0pt"><span style="text-align: justify; line-height: 15pt;"><strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Bio:</span></strong>
<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Peter Bandettini has been a key figure in the development of brain imaging methods over the last 30 years, beginning with pioneering work in functional MRI at the Medical College of Wisconsin. In 1999, he became
Chief of the Section on Functional Imaging Methods and Director of the Functional MRI Facility (FMRIF) at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD. Peter continues to advance many aspects of fMRI methods, examining such topics as the sources of functional
contrast and noise in BOLD, resting-state fluctuations and connectivity, and layer-dependent activity. His broader efforts in scientific communication and tuition are also notable, hosting the OHBM Neurosalience podcast, where he discusses wide ranging issues
in neuroimaging with experts in the field, and earning the NIMH Outstanding Mentor Award. Peter was also recently awarded the ISMRM Gold Medal Award in recognition of his contributions to the field of magnetic resonance and, after a long involvement with the
journal NeuroImage (capped with a 6-year tenure as its Editor in Chief), he last year became the Editor in Chief of Aperture Neuro.</span></span></p>
