• Motion-correction for awake non-human primate fMRI
  Functional imaging of awake non-human primates is challenging not only due to their smaller brain size, but also due to excessive local field fluctuations due to animals' motion. Using a novel pulse sequence, efficient reconstruction techniques, and a custom-made multi-channel coil we aim to perform accelerated functional scans of awake monkeys.
  
  


• Trade off between fat-suppression and partial-voluming in bSSFP acquisitions
  Fat-suppression in bSSFP can be achieved using weighted average of in-phase and out-of-phase acquisitions raised to a negative power. We studied the effects of the power parameter on the trade off between fat-suppression and partial voluming under various experimental setups. We devised optimal parameter values meeting the fat-suppression and partial voluming requirements.
  
  


• Temporal receptive windows in the brain mapped via deep language networks
  Using a natural story listening experimental paradigm, we use computational models based on deep neural networks to study the effect of context integration on the representation of a large dictionary of words across the cortex. We are further interested in studying the attentional modulations of this property across cortex.
  
  

• K-space and image reconstruction
  This talk provides some intuition about the concept of spatial encoding in MRI by introducing the k-space, and elaborates more on some of the special sampling scenarios. Also, introduction to baiscs of parallel imaging is provided. This talk was presented during the educational course at ISMRM British Chapter MR-Fest 2021
