Imaging the Brain
Institute of Advanced Study visiting fellow Frank Skidmore holds a series of seminars named 'Imaging the Brain'. This series presents research results and discusses the pearls and pitfalls of the potential use of functional and structural MRI as a diagnostic tool. The purpose of this talk is to start a discussion on how fMRI and other MRI techniques can move from a purely speculative to a clinically relevant tool for understanding human brain disease.
