However, full exploitation of these techniques will require\nnew developments in computer visualization (e.g. high dimensional data)\nand computational processing (as these techniques generate massive and\ncomplicated datasets). This talk showcases the new facilities at the\nGSU\/GT Center for Advanced Brain Imaging. The talk will describe some\nof the GVU-related research that has been initiated at the center and\nprovide insights into possible future research directions. Specific\napplications that will be described include understanding the\nconsequences of brain injury, developing enhanced human computer\ninterfaces and accelerating image processing. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nBio: Dr. Rorden is the director of the new GSU\/GT Center for Advanced Brain Imaging (\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.cabiatl.com\/\u0022\u003Ewww.cabiatl.com\u003C\/a\u003E).\u0026nbsp;\nThe CABI employs state-of-the-art methods, functional magnetic\nresonance imaging, brain stimulation, scalp electrical recording and\nsophisticated behavioral measures to understand brain function. Dr.\nRorden received a B.A. degree from the University of California, San\nDiego. In 1996, he graduated with his Ph.D. from Cambridge University\nin Experimental Psychology. He completed post-doctoral work with the\nBritish Medical Research Council in Cambridge, as well as both Birkbeck\nCollege and University College London. From 2000-2005 he worked as a\nlecturer and reader at the University of Nottingham, and from 2005-2009\nworked at the University of South Carolina\u0027s Department of\nCommunication Sciences. Dr. Rorden has published more than 80\npeer-reviewed journal articles and has held four grants from the\nNational Institutes of Health. He is principal investigator for two NIH\ngrants are on \u0027Dissociating Components of the Attentional Network in\nNeglect\u0027 and \u0027A Unified Neuroanatomical Model of Speech Production and\nPerception\u0027. A spin off of his research is a popular set of open source\nsoftware tools available at \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.mricro.com\/\u0022\u003Ewww.mricro.com\u003C\/a\u003E. His research interests include perception and language.\u0026nbsp; \u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"This talk showcases the new facilities at the GSU\/GT Center for Advanced Brain Imaging."}],"uid":"27197","created_gmt":"2010-02-10 17:20:16","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:49:39","author":"Renata Le Dantec","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2010-02-11T11:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2010-02-11T12:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2010-02-11T12:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2010-02-11 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2010-02-11 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2010-02-11 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":["free_food"],"groups":[{"id":"1219","name":"Digital Lounge - Health and Education"},{"id":"1220","name":"Digital Lounge"},{"id":"1299","name":"GVU Center"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"4096","name":"brown bag"},{"id":"1946","name":"GVU"},{"id":"5743","name":"GVU Brown Bag"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
