Core Vision Grant - Functional Imaging

摘要 功能成像模块支持纽约脑成像中心的视觉研究 大学CBI是视觉和认知神经科学研究和教学的共享研究中心， 纽约大学CBI位于同一栋建筑的一楼和二楼，该建筑容纳了大部分视觉核心 教师，并拥有MRI，MEG，EEG和TMS的设施。CBI现在是第十六个完整的一年， 操作，核心教师的成员是其最活跃的用户之一。 功能成像模块将使NEI受资助者和其他视觉研究人员能够开发，实施， 并保持技术进步，从各个实验室开发和使用的专业工具中受益， 使用和贡献人类研究对象的数据库，具有广泛的视觉相关的大脑， 行为措施，标准化和改善图像处理管道，支持MRI兼容 TMS，以促进公共共享数据，开发共享软件，用于获取和处理 猴MRI数据（结构、扩散和功能），并开发软件以整合采集的数据 通过脑成像中心提供的多种测量方式。该模块将 通过激励核心教师成员之间的合作研究，以及通过 促进核心教师成员之间的技术和仪器共享。如有要求， 并与其他机构的视觉科学家分享技术发展。 功能成像模块为视觉核心的16名成员提供中等或广泛的支持， 其中包括两名年轻的研究人员和10名获得NEI资助的研究人员。

Abstract The Functional Imaging Module supports vision research in the Center for Brain Imaging at New York University. CBI is a shared research center for research and teaching in visual and cognitive neuroscience at NYU. CBI is located on the ground and second floors of the same building that houses most of the vision core faculty, and houses facilities for MRI, MEG, EEG, and TMS. The CBI is now in its sixteenth full year of operation, and members of the Core faculty are among its most active users. The Functional Imaging Module will enable NEI grantees and other vision researchers to develop, implement, and maintain technical advances, to benefit from specialized tools developed and used by individual labs, to use and contribute to a database of human research subjects with extensive vision-related brain and behavioral measures, to standardize and improve image processing pipelines, to support MRI-compatible TMS, to facilitate the public sharing of data, to develop shared software for acquisition and processing of monkey MRI data (structural, diffusion, and functional), and to develop software to integrate data acquired through the multiple measurement modalities available at the Center for Brain Imaging. The module will leverage research support by stimulating collaborative research between members of the Core faculty, and by facilitating sharing techniques and instrumentation between members of the Core faculty. If requested, the technical developments will also be shared with vision scientists at other institutions. The Functional Imaging Module provides moderate or extensive support for 16 members of the Vision Core, including two young investigators and 10 NEI funded investigators who hold qualifying grants.
