The Secret Lives of Martinos Folk: Fighting Stereotypes of Women in Islam, One Karate Kick at a Time
Zeynab Alshelh has practiced karate since she was a young child growing up in Australia. For much of the time she has been involved with the sport, she has focused her efforts on the discipline known as shadow fighting, or Kata. Kata comprises a pre-arranged pattern of movements—kicks and punches...
Mainak Jas
Dr. Jas completed his PhD from Telecom ParisTech. His thesis focused on automating MEG/EEG analysis pipelines. He is a proponent of open and reproducible science. He has been a key contributor to several open source neuroimaging tools: most notably MNE-Python, MNE-BIDS, and HNN-core. He develope...
REACH for BRAIN: Improving Recruitment, Engagement, and Access for Community Health Equity for Human Neuroimaging Research
In September 2023, the MGH Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging saw installation of “Connectome 2.0,” a state-of-the-art MRI scanner for imaging of structural connections within the human brain—in fact, the most advanced such scanner in the world. Led by Susie Huang, MD, PhD, a neuroradiolo...
Artificial Intelligence Improves Treatment Monitoring in Patients with Glioma
This year, some 78,000 primary brain and other central nervous system (CNS) cancers will be diagnosed in the US alone. Researchers are actively developing new therapies for glioma, the most common type of primary brain tumor, but challenges remain in assessing whether patients are responding to t...
Heidi Jacobs
The Jacobs Lab aims to detect the earliest brain changes that contribute to cognitive decline and behavioral changes associated with the earliest stages of Alzheimer's disease. Our focus is on neuroimaging method development, biomarker evaluation and testing new preventive interventions targeting...
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...
A New Role for Diffusion MRI in Treating Anxiety and Depression
Anxiety disorders and depression are widespread among adolescents in the U.S., affecting as many as one in four 13 to 18 year olds. Determining the best course of treatment can be difficult, though, as we still don’t fully understand the biology underlying them. Now, using cutting-edge brain i...
