Using neuroimaging techniques to reveal the brain's complexity

Congresso Paulo Leal Ferreira 2019 - November 01, 2019 Speaker: Rickson Coelho Mesquita Using neuroimaging techniques to reveal the brain's complexity Measuring cerebral activity with advanced neuroimaging techniques has been a useful approach to explore the complex functional organization of the brain. In this talk we will review the main neuroimaging techniques currently employed to assess cerebral activity during the resting state. In particular, we will present our most recent results on using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to assess the spontaneous activity of the human brain at rest. Rickson Mesquita is professor at the Institute of Physics (IFGW) at the State University of Campinas (Unicamp). He was visiting researcher at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH, Boston, USA, 2007-2008) and an associate researcher at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn, Philadelphia, USA) for 2 years. His scientific interests include: biomedical optics, light transport in diffusive media, optical tissue properties, functional spectroscopy, photodynamic therapy and cancer
