THE SPINOZA CENTRE FOR NEUROIMAGING IS THE AMSTERDAM IMAGING CORE FOR 3T AND 7T MRI

A virtual electrode: fMRI with subsecond, submillimeter resolution in-vivo

Luisa Raimondo and colleagues show in a new publication that with ‘linescanning’ functional data can be acquired extremely fast and with sufficient detail to distinguish between signals from different cortical depths

Bias in the brain
Common mechanism underlies processing different kinds of prior information
Research Methods

Methods
MRI experiments provide the researcher with an impossible amount of data. In order to distill meaningful information a progressive series of reduction methods are applied to filter out the desired parameters (and ignore others).
