Crowds Cure Cancer at RSNA 2017

Can crowdsourcing provide us with a cure for cancer? We hope to find out. Join us in an experiment at the RSNA annual meeting next week, where just a few minutes of your time could move us closer to this ever-elusive goal. Advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning have broad pot...

Wellness Resources

To offer support to its staff and researchers, Partners, MGH, and several other groups have put together resources that address the challenges we may be facing in our day-to-day lives as we handle this unique situation. Here, we compile those resources & information to make it easier for you ...

The Martinos Center’s Got Talent!

On Wednesday, January 11, the MGH Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging will stage its first-ever talent show, aptly titled: "The Martinos Center's Got Talent!" The event will showcase the many, varied talents of folks from across the center, from accordion playing to ballroom dancing, from stan...

Noam Peled

I have a broad background in neuroimaging, with specific training and expertise in analyzing and visualization of multi-modality neuroimaging datasets. I received my Ph.D. degree in machine learning and games theory from Bar-Ilan University in 2014, and in 2015 I started my position as a research...

Julie Price

One of the Center's newest senior faculty members, Julie Price, PhD, brings to the Martinos community a wealth of experience with quantitative positron emission tomography (PET). With this technique, researchersĀ study the dynamics of the PET radiotracer in vivoĀ in order to obtain absolute measure...

Early Screening of ASD With a New Eye-tracking Paradigm

Studies have shown that early diagnosis and intervention significantly impact the prognosis of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD): the earlier the detection and diagnosis, the better the prognosis and functional status later in life. Currently, the average age of diagnosis is approxi...

5 Things You Didnā€™t Know About David Cohen and MEG

Last week the MGH Martinos Center dedicated its advanced magnetoencephalography (MEG) facility as the David Cohen MEG Laboratory. Cohenā€”the inventor of MEG, a leader in the field of biomagnetism for more than 50 years, and a Martinos Center faculty member who was instrumental in building and deve...

Roberta Sclocco

Dr. Sclocco has a background in bioengineering and signal processing, with specificĀ training in non-invasive neuroimaging (e.g., fMRI, EEG) and peripheralĀ autonomic data analyses. Since the beginning of her career, she have beenĀ interested in the interactions between the central and peripheral au...

Jyrki Ahveninen

Dr. Ahveninen's mission is to apply novel and improved techniques to achieve more accurateĀ estimates of human brain function than previously achieved. His work focusesĀ on neuroimaging of human auditory system, auditory working memory andĀ higher-order auditory cognition using techniques including ...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

The Center's magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) facilities include the following. Large-bore MRI Systems Ā * All subject bays are equipped with Blu-ray/DVD players for subject entertainment Bay 1: Siemens 3T MRI Skyra with 128ch receive capabilities and 2ch pTx This is a Siemens 3T Skyra wit...

Shahin Nasr

For the past 15 years, Shahin Nasr, PhD, hasĀ studied the visual system of humans andĀ non-human primates using a variety of techniques, from psychophysics andĀ event-related potentials (ERP) to conventional and high-resolution functionalĀ MRI, in order to understand the neural mechanisms underlying ...

Berkin Bilgic

MRI has demonstrated ability to provide exquisite contrast for non-invasive imaging. What limits its efficiency and sensitivity are the tradeoffs between scan time, resolution and signal-to-noise ratio. Dr. Bilgic's research is devoted to breaking this stalemate by developing new acquisition and ...
