OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Abstract: In this presentation, I want to talk about recent work on cortical-depth dependent fMRI in humans with blood-volume weighted MRI sequences. I will start by introducing the practical challenges of high-resolution fMRI at ultra high fields in humans. For the main part of the presentation, I will give an overview of recent neuroscientific application studies of blood volume weighted layer-fMRI, in the sensory motor system, in the visual cortex, the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, and beyond. I will conclude that whole-brain layer-fMRI without large-vessel contamination is applicable for human neuroscience and opens the door to investigate biological mechanisms behind any number of neuroscientific and psychological phenomena.
