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，网址为 纽约大学。CBI位于同一座大楼的一楼和二楼，这座大楼容纳了大部分视觉核心 教职员工，并设有核磁共振、脑磁图、脑电图和经颅磁共振仪设施。CBI现在是它的第16个完整的年头 核心教员是其最活跃的用户之一。 功能成像模块将使NEI受赠者和其他视觉研究人员能够开发、实施、 并保持技术进步，以受益于各个实验室开发和使用的专门工具，以 使用并为人类研究对象数据库做出贡献，该数据库具有广泛的视觉相关大脑和 行为措施，以标准化和改进图像处理流水线，以支持MRI兼容 TMS，以方便公众共享数据，开发共享软件，用于采集和处理 Money MRI数据(结构、扩散和功能)，并开发软件来整合所获得的数据 通过脑成像中心提供的多种测量方式。该模块将 通过激励核心教员之间的协作研究来利用研究支持， 促进核心教员之间分享技术和仪器。如果请求，则 技术发展也将与其他机构的视觉科学家分享。 功能成像模块为Vision Core的16个成员提供中等或广泛的支持， 其中包括两名年轻的调查人员和10名NEI资助的调查人员，他们持有合格的补助金。

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.
