Understanding the Patient-Clinician Relationship with ‘Hyperscanning’ fMRI
The quality of the patient-clinician relationship is widely held to impact a patient’s response to treatment. Exactly how, though, has long remained a mystery. In a study reported in October 2020, Martinos Center researchers began to explore the questions of which parts of the brain and which typ...

Uncovering ‘Covert Consciousness’ in Brain Injury Patients
In a paper published in the journal Brain last month Brian Edlow and colleagues reported a study in which they used the imaging techniques functional MRI and EEG to detect ‘covert consciousness’ in the intensive care unit. We checked in with Edlow, associate director of the Center for Neurotechno...
Learning to See: New Artificial Intelligence Technique Dramatically Improves the Quality of Medical Imaging
A radiologist’s ability to make accurate diagnoses from high-quality diagnostic imaging studies directly impacts patient outcome. However, acquiring sufficient data to generate the best quality imaging comes at a cost – increased radiation dose for computed tomography (CT) and positron emission t...
