Determining the cause of an ischemic stroke is critical to preventing a second one and is a primary focus in the evaluation of stroke patients. But for all the importance of identifying the cause, physicians have long lacked a robust and objective means to do so. Now a team of investigators at...

Understanding Eye-contact Avoidance in People With Autism
Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often have difficulty looking others in the eyes. This is typically interpreted as a sign of social and personal indifference, but self-reports from people with autism suggests otherwise. Many say that looking others in the eye is uncomfortable or s...

Prospective Students Experience the Martinos
Last Friday, the MGH Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging welcomed 18 prospective students from the Harvard-MIT Program in Health Sciences and Technology (HST). The students came to learn about educational opportunities at the Center as they look toward the next stage of their academics. The...
Magnetoencephalography Aids Diagnosis and Treatment of Epilepsy, Other Disorders
Originally used only for research purposes, magnetoencephalography (MEG) has been introduced into clinical care in recent decades. With applications in epilepsy already benefiting from its use, and still others on the horizon, the technique is helping to advance diagnosis and treatment for a rang...
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...
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 ...
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, researchers study the dynamics of the PET radiotracer in vivo in order to obtain absolute measure...
Ultrahigh-field MRI Tracks Development of Cortical Lesions in Multiple Sclerosis Patients
The development of lesions in the brain’s cortical gray matter is a strong predictor of neurological disability for people with multiple sclerosis (MS), according to a study reported today in the journal Radiology. The findings suggest a role for ultrahigh-field MRI in monitoring the progression ...
Shahin Nasr
For the past 15 years, Shahin Nasr, PhD, has studied the visual system of humans and non-human primates using a variety of techniques, from psychophysics and event-related potentials (ERP) to conventional and high-resolution functional MRI, in order to understand the neural mechanisms underlying ...
Roberta Sclocco
Dr. Sclocco has a background in bioengineering and signal processing, with specific training in non-invasive neuroimaging (e.g., fMRI, EEG) and peripheral autonomic data analyses. Since the beginning of her career, she have been interested in the interactions between the central and peripheral au...
5 Things You Didn’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. Cohen—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...
Yi-Fen Yen
Over the past two decades, Dr. Yen has devoted herself to the development of advanced MRI techniques, for hyperpolarized metabolic imaging, cancer imaging and functional imaging in clinical and pre-clinical research. She is an MR physicist with >100 publications in peer-reviewed scientific jou...
Ken Kwong and the Introduction of Noninvasive fMRI
In the early months of 1992 the neuroscience community was flush with excitement. Jack Belliveau, a graduate student with the MGH-NMR Center (now the MGH Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging), had recently published in Science his pioneering work with functional MRI, and the possibilities of th...
Jason Stockmann
Jason Stockmann, PhD, is broadly interested in magnetic resonance imaging hardware and acquisition methods for improving data quality for both structural and functional imaging. He has worked on diverse MRI scanners ranging in field strength by two orders of magnitude, from low-field (80 mT) to u...
Deep Learning Offers Quantitative Means of Monitoring Disease Progression in Retinopathy of Prematurity
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is an eye disorder affecting roughly two-thirds of premature infants weighing less than 250 g at birth and one of the leading causes of childhood blindness worldwide. Historically, clinical diagnosis of ROP has been subjective, resulting in considerable variabilit...
